                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                          Before Justices Schenck, Osborne, and Reichek
                                   Opinion by Justice Reichek
       Rashard Avery Jones appeals the trial court’s April 29, 2019 order placing him on deferred
adjudication for indecency with a child by sexual contact. Appellant filed a timely motion for new
trial on May 1, 2019 which was granted. On May 3, 2019, appellant filed his notice of appeal.
       When the trial court grants a motion for new trial, the case is restored to its position before
the former trial. TEX. R. APP. P. 21.9(b). Because there is no sentence to be appealed, we have no
jurisdiction over the appeal. See Waller v. State, 931 S.W.2d 640, 643–44 (Tex. App.–Dallas
1996, no pet.).
       We dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
