NO. 07-07-0286-CV IN THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT AMARILLO PANEL C JULY 25, 2007 ______________________________ TAMRA BARRON MORPHIS, APPELLANT V. FRANKLIN DUAINE MORPHIS, APPELLEE _________________________________ FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF LUBBOCK COUNTY; NO. 2006-533,970; HONORABLE LARRY B. RUSTY LADD, JUDGE _______________________________ Before QUINN, C.J., and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ. MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant, Tamra Barron Morphis, perfected this appeal from a final decree of divorce. On July 12, 2007, the trial court granted Morphis s motion for new trial. The legal effect of an order granting a new trial vacates the original judgment and returns the case to the trial court as if no previous trial had been conducted. Old Republic Ins. Co. v. Scott, 846 S.W.3d 832, 833 (Tex. 1993); see also Markowitz v. Markowitz, 118 S.W.3d 82, 88 (Tex.App. Houston [14th Dist.] 2003, pet. denied); Long John Silver s, Inc. v. Martinez, 850 S.W.2d 773, 777 (Tex.App. San Antonio 1993, writ dism d w.o.j.). Thus, there is no final judgment from which an appeal may be prosecuted. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
