JOSHUA ERIC TOWNLEY                                                    APPELLANT

                                       V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS                                                           STATE


                                    ----------

          FROM THE 43RD DISTRICT COURT OF PARKER COUNTY
               TRIAL COURT NOS. CR16-0114, CR16-0115

                                    ----------

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION1

                                    ----------

      Appellant Joshua Eric Townley timely filed a motion for new trial and a

notice of appeal from two judgments convicting him of sexual assault of a child.

See Tex. R. App. P. 21.4(a), 26.2(a)(2).         The trial court subsequently timely

granted Townley’s motion for new trial.      See Tex. R. App. P. 21.8(a).       The

granting of a motion for new trial restores the case to its position before the

former trial. See Tex. R. App. P. 21.9(b). Accordingly, on our own motion, we

dismiss these appeals as moot.
