On State's Petition for Discretionary Review from the Thirteenth Court of Appeals Nueces County.

JOHNSON, J., delivered the unanimous opinion of the Court.

OPINION

Appellee was convicted of driving while intoxicated. Subsequently, the trial court granted appellee's motion for new trial. The state appealed. The court of appeals overruled the state's issue and affirmed the trial court's judgment. State v. Herndon, No. 13-02-518-CR, 2008 Tex. App. LEXIS 919 (Tex.App.-Corpus Christi-Edinburg, delivered February 7, 2008) (not designated for publication). We granted state's petition for discretionary review to consider three grounds for review that challenged the trial court's decision to grant appellee's motion for new trial and the court of appeals's affirmance of the trial court's judgment. We have examined the record and briefs and considered the arguments in this case, and we conclude that our decision to grant review was improvident. We therefore dismiss the state's petition as improvidently granted.
