WILLIAM LOTIN PARKER,
                                                         Appellant,
 
                                                             v.
 
THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                                                Appellee.
____________________________________________________________
 
                          On
Appeal from the 278th District Court 
                                        of
Walker County, Texas.

                               MEMORANDUM
OPINION
 
                           Before
Justices Benavides, Vela, and Perkes
Memorandum Opinion
Per Curiam
 
Appellant,
William Lotin Parker, filed a notice of appeal challenging his conviction.  By
order signed July 8, 2011, 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.—Dallas 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.
 
PER
CURIAM
Do not
publish.  Tex. R. App. P.
47.2(b).
Delivered and filed the
25th day of August, 2011.
