MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Camron Leroy Pike, Sr. perfected this appeal from the trial court’s order terminating his parental rights. On January 13, 2006, the trial court signed an order granting Pike’s motion for new trial, sustaining his claim of indigence, and appointing counsel. An order granting a new trial vacates the original judgment appealed from and returns the case to the trial court as if no previous trial or hearing had been conducted. See Old Republic Ins. Co. v. Scott, 846 S.W.2d 832, 833 (Tex. 1993); Long John Silver’s, Inc. v. Martinez, 850 S.W.2d 773, 777 (Tex.App.–San Antonio 1993, writ dism’d w.o.j.). Thus, there is no final order from which an appeal may be prosecuted.
Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
Don H. Reavis
Justice
