DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION

Abdelgyoum Mohamed appeals the county court's order granting a new trial. At trial in municipal court, Mohamed was granted a directed verdict. The State appealed this verdict to the county court at law which reversed and remanded the case to the municipal court for a new trial.

Under Tex. Govt. Code Ann. 30.00027(a) (Vernon Supp. 2002), a defendant has the right to appeal to the court of appeals if the fine assessed against that defendant exceeds $100 and if the judgment is affirmed by the appellate court. Such is not the case here. Although Mohamed argues this section of the Government Code only applies to situations in which the defendant initiated the appeal to the county court, we find this argument to be unpersuasive. As such, we have no jurisdiction to hear this appeal. Tex. Govt. Code 30.00027(a) (Vernon Supp. 2002).

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
