Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed February 18, 2016. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-15-00237-CR PASTOR ISREAL DIAZ-BONILLA, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 182nd District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1311548 MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant was convicted of engaging in organized criminal activity. Subsequently, the trial court granted appellant’s motion for new trial.1 1 We affirmed the trial court’s decision on appeal from the State in an opinion issued February 9, 2016. See State of Texas v. Diaz-Bonilla, No. 14-15-00503-CR, __ WL __ (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Feb 9, 2016, no pet. h.). 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. App. 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 Chief Justice Frost and Justices Christopher, McCally. Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b) 2
