          RADU CHIVU, Appellant

                     V.

           THE STATE OF TEXAS

    On Appeal from the 16th District Court
           Denton County, Texas
        Trial Court No. F17-2073-16

  Before Sudderth, C.J.; Gabriel and Kerr, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Sudderth
                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Appellant Radu Chivu was convicted of aggravated assault on October 23,

2019. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.02. On January 6, 2020, the trial court granted

Appellant’s motion for a new trial and set aside the conviction. By letter dated

January 23, 2020, we notified the parties of our concern that we lack jurisdiction

because there is no longer a judgment of conviction in this case and cautioned that we

would dismiss the appeal unless any party filed a response showing grounds for

continuing the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f), 44.3; Shipp v. State, No. 02-17-

00362-CR, 2019 WL 153767, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Jan. 10, 2019, no pet.)

(mem. op., not designated for publication). We have received no response. We

therefore dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f), 44.3.
