MELVIN FORREST BERRY, JR. APPELLANT V. THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE

------------ FROM THE 297TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY ------------ MEMORANDUM OPINION1 Appellant Melvin Forrest Berry, Jr. filed a timely notice of appeal challenging his conviction and sentence for the state jail felony of theft, enhanced.

See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. appeal. The trial court’s certification provides that Appellant has no right of appeal. Appellant has not filed another notice of appeal.

Because the trial court granted Appellant’s motion for new trial, making any appeal from the original judgment moot,2 and because Appellant has not filed a notice of appeal from the new judgment,3 we dismiss this appeal.
