Conrado Calderas v. State ( 2012 )

Motion Granted; Appeal Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed September 13,
2012.
In The
Fourteenth Court of Appeals
NO. 14-12-00549-CR
CONRADO CALDERAS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 208th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1314256
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant was convicted of murder. Subsequently, the trial court granted
appellant’s motion for new trial. Appellant filed a motion to dismiss his appeal.
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 grant appellant's motion and dismiss the appeal.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Frost, Christopher, and Jamison.
