____________________________________________________________

JOE HERNANDEZ,                                                             Appellant,

                                           v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                 Appellee.
____________________________________________________________

             On appeal from the 117th District Court
                   of Nueces County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION
             Before Justices Rodriguez, Contreras, and Benavides
                 Memorandum Opinion by Justice Contreras

       Appellant, Joe Hernandez, filed notices of appeal challenging his convictions for

burglary in trial court cause numbers 16FC-0189-B, 16FC-0805-B, 17FC-2174-B, and

16CR3791-B.      By orders signed on August 8, 2018, 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 are no convictions

to be appealed, we have no jurisdiction to consider these appeals. 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 orders granting a new trial, is of the opinion that these appeals should be

dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See id. The appeals are hereby DISMISSED FOR

WANT OF JURISDICTION.

                                                                 DORI CONTRERAS
                                                                 Justice

Do not publish.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

Delivered and filed the 20th
day of September, 2018.
