In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-14-00218-CV ——————————— IN THE INTEREST OF M.E.M. AND W.T.M., JR., CHILDREN

On Appeal from the 314th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2013-01375J

MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant appealed from the trial court’s judgment signed March 5, 2014.

On April 28, 2014, the trial court granted appellant’s motion for new trial. The granting of a motion for new trial restores the case to its position before the former trial and renders any appeal moot. See TEX. R. APP. P. 21.9(b); Galvan v. Harris Cnty., No. 01-09-00884-CV, 2011 WL 345677, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Jan. 31, 2011, no pet.) (mem. op.).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as moot. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(f).

We dismiss any pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Higley and Brown.
