JAIME JOEL FLORES, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 177th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Case No. 1459301
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On August 24, 2016, the trial court sentenced appellant, Jaime Joel Flores, to
17 years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice
for the first-degree-felony offense of murder. On the same day, appellant filed a
notice of appeal. On September 16, 2016, appellant timely filed a motion for new
trial. The clerk’s record contains an order that shows that the trial court granted the
motion for new trial. 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). The appeal was
rendered moot by the order granting a new trial. See id.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as moot. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(f). We
dismiss any pending motions as moot.
We direct the Clerk to issue the mandate within 10 days of the date of this
opinion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 18.1.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Brown and Lloyd.
