Calvin Dewayne Fuller v. State

Opinion

Motion Granted; Appeal Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed October 1, 2013.

In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-13-00489-CR CALVIN DEWAYNE FULLER, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 184th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1358613 MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant was convicted of aggravated assault of a family member.

Subsequently, the trial court granted appellant’s motion for new trial. Appellant has filed a motion to dismiss his appeal for want of jurisdiction.

Generally, we only have jurisdiction to consider an appeal by a criminal defendant when there has been a final judgment of conviction. See Workman v. State, 170 Tex. Crim. App. 621, 343 S.W.2d 446, 447 (1961); McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App. – Fort Worth 1996, no pet.). Because appellant has been granted a new trial, there is no final conviction to appeal.

Accordingly, we grant appellant’s motion and dismiss the appeal.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Chief Justice Frost and Justices Boyce, and Jamison.
