SHARON HINOJOSA,                                                                 Appellant,

                                              v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                 Appellee.

          On appeal from the County Court at Law No. 4
                   of Nueces County, Texas.

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
           Before Justices Rodriguez, Benavides, and Longoria
                    Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

       Appellant, Sharon Hinojosa, filed a notice of appeal challenging her conviction for

hindering apprehension.       By order signed July 11, 2013, 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Do not publish.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
1st day of August, 2013.
