NO. 07-04-0275-CR IN THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT AMARILLO PANEL A JULY 7, 2004 ______________________________ SADIE RAYNE WILLIAMS, APPELLANT V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE _________________________________ FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 2 OF POTTER COUNTY; NO. 105,893; HONORABLE PAMELA COOK SIRMON, JUDGE _______________________________ Before JOHNSON, C.J., and REAVIS and CAMPBELL, JJ. MEMORANDUM OPINION After appellant Sadie Rayne Williams filed a notice of appeal challenging her conviction, on June 2, 2004, the trial court signed an order granting her motion for new trial. Pending before this Court is appellant s motion to dismiss her appeal which is accompanied by a certified copy of the trial court s order. We grant the motion. The granting of a motion for new trial in a criminal case is governed by Rule 21.9 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. The legal effect of granting the motion restores the case to its position before the former trial. See State v. Bates, 889 S.W.2d 306, 310 (Tex.Cr.App. 1994); see also Waller v. State 931 S.W.2d 640, 643 (Tex.App. Dallas 1996, no pet.). Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed and the Clerk of this Court is directed to issue mandate. Don H. Reavis Justice Do not publish. 2
