The granting of a motion for new trial restores the case to its position before the 1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. former trial. See Tex. R. App. P. 21.9(b). Accordingly, on our own motion, we dismiss these appeals as moot. PER CURIAM PANEL: MEIER, GABRIEL, and SUDDERTH, JJ. DO NOT PUBLISH Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b) DELIVERED: March 9, 2017 2
