                             COURT OF APPEALS

                  THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
____________________________________________________________

NIDIA TANYA QUISTIAN,                                                           Appellant,

                                             v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                 Appellee.
____________________________________________________________

             On appeal from the 329th District Court
                   of Wharton County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION
               Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Perkes
                    Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Appellant, Nidia Tanya Quistian, filed a notice of appeal challenging her conviction

for possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.           By order signed

November 1, 2012, the trial court granted appellant's motion for new trial.

      When the trial court grants a motion for new trial, it restores the case to its position

before the former trial. See TEX. R. APP. P. 21.9(b). Because there is no conviction to
be appealed, we have no jurisdiction to consider this appeal. See Waller v. State, 931
S.W.2d 640, 643-44 (Tex. App.— Dallas 1996, no pet.).

      The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file and the

trial court's order granting a new trial, is of the opinion that the appeal should be

dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See id. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR

WANT OF JURISDICTION.

                                               PER CURIAM

Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

Delivered and filed the
7th day of February, 2013.
