                              COURT OF APPEALS

                   THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                      CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

ESMERALDA LORENA CHAVEZ,                                                         Appellant,

                                              v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                 Appellee.
____________________________________________________________

          On appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1
                   of Nueces County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION
               Before Justices Rodriguez, Longoria, and Hinojosa
                  Memorandum Opinion by Justice Rodriguez

       Appellant, Esmeralda Lorena Chavez, filed a notice of appeal challenging her

conviction for harassment. By order signed January 3, 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 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.BDallas 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. Any pending motions are likewise dismissed.



                                                                 NELDA V. RODRIGUEZ
                                                                 Justice


Do not publish.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

Delivered and filed the 25th
day of January, 2018.
