Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed March 4, 2010. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-09-00189-CR ____________ RICHARD MORENO, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 184th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1097436 MEMORANDUM OPINION 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. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Frost, Boyce, and Sullivan. Do Not Publish C Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b). 2
