RICHARD MORENO, Appellant

 

V.

 

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

 

 

On Appeal from the 184th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1097436

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Appellant was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child and filed this appeal.  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. 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.
