Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed September 23, 2014.
In The
Fourteenth Court of Appeals
NO. 14-14-00599-CR
HECTOR A. PENA, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 212th District Court
Galveston County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 12CR3366
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant was convicted of criminally negligent homicide. Subsequently,
the trial court granted appellant’s motion for new trial.
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 dismiss the appeal.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Christopher and Busby.
