Larry Lausch v. the State of Texas ( 2021 )

Motion to Abate Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed May 25, 2021.
In The
Fourteenth Court of Appeals
NO. 14-21-00063-CR
LARRY LAUSCH, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 122nd District Court
Galveston County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 15-CR-3088
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant was convicted of two counts of the felony offense of indecency
with a child by contact and punishment was assessed at four years’ confinement.
Subsequently, the trial court granted appellant’s motion for new trial.
Generally, we only have jurisdiction to consider an appeal by a criminal
defendant when there has been a final judgment of conviction. See Workman v.
State, 170 Tex. Crim. App. 621, 343 S.W.2d 446, 447 (1961); McKown v. State,
915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App. – Fort Worth 1996, no pet.). Because appellant
has been granted a new trial, there is no final conviction to appeal.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Bourliot, Poissant, and Wilson.
