DOUGLAS, Judge
(concurring in part and dissenting in part).
I concur that the appeal should be dismissed.
However, to the dictum in that part of the majority opinion which notes that the trial court had no authority to resentence under Section 6.01(c), I disagree for the reasons stated in the dissent in Ex parte Giles, 502 S.W.2d 774 (Tex.Cr.App.1973). I am still of the opinion that the Legislature had authority to provide for resen-tencing while the case was in the trial court.1

. If notice of appeal was given after sentence was pronounced but was omitted from the record, the trial court will have authority to set aside the conviction and grant a new trial once the dismissal of the appeal becomes final.
