Opinion

NUMBER 13-19-00077-CR COURT OF APPEALS THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG ____________________________________________________________ JOHANNA TREJO, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee. ____________________________________________________________ On appeal from the 319th District Court of Nueces County, Texas. ____________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Longoria and Perkes Memorandum Opinion by Justice Longoria Appellant, Johanna Trejo, filed a notice of appeal challenging her conviction for tampering with or fabricating physical evidence. By order signed March 28, 2019, the trial court granted the parties’ agreed motion for new trial.

When the trial court grants a motion for new trial, it restores the case to its position before the former trial. See TEX. R. APP. P. 21.9(b). Because there is no conviction to be appealed, we have no jurisdiction to consider this appeal. See Waller v. State, 931 S.W.2d 640, 643-44 (Tex. App.–Dallas 1996, no pet.).

The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file and the trial court's order granting a new trial, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See id. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
