                               PABLO GONZALEZ, APPELLANT

                               THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE

                             On Appeal from the 140th District Court
                                      Lubbock County, Texas
               Trial Court No. 2019-418419, Honorable Douglas H. Freitag, Presiding

                                         January 11, 2023
                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION
                      Before QUINN, C.J., and DOSS and YARBROUGH, JJ.

       Appellant, Pablo Gonzalez, was convicted by a jury of online solicitation of a minor

and sentenced to ten years’ confinement.1 It has been brought to the attention of this

Court that the trial court has granted a motion for new trial.

       The legal effect of an order granting a new trial is to vacate the original judgment

and restore the case to its position before the former trial. TEX. R. APP. P. 21.9(b). As

       1   TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 33.021(b).
there is no final judgment from which an appeal may be prosecuted, this Court has no

jurisdiction over the appeal. McLaughlin v. State, No. 07-15-00416-CR, 2015 Tex. App.

LEXIS 13008, at *1 (Tex. App.—Amarillo Dec. 29, 2015, no pet.) (mem. op., not

designated for publication); Waller v. State, 931 S.W.2d 640, 643–44 (Tex. App.—Dallas

1996, no pet.).

       Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction and mandate will issue

forthwith.
