STEVEN RAY PEACE, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 338th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 967,801

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

This is an attempted appeal from the denial of appellant=s motion for new trial.

In case number, 14-04-00233-CR, appellant has appealed his conviction for the offense of murder. In this appeal, appellant attempts to bring a separate appeal from the denial of his motion for new trial. Appellant may challenge the denial of the motion for new trial in the appeal from appellant=s conviction. Accordingly, appellate timetables for perfection run from the date of sentencing or the signing of an appealable order, not from the overruling of a motion for new trial. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2. An appeal from the denial of a motion for new trial, separate and apart from an appeal from the conviction, is therefore improper.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
