Fourteenth Court of Appeals

NO. 14-11-00545-CR

Dung Quoc Nguyen, Appellant

V.

The State of Texas, Appellee

On Appeal from the 178th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1226450

MEMORANDUM  OPINION

This is an attempted appeal from the denial of appellant’s motion for new trial.

In case number, 14-11-00292-CR, appellant has appealed his conviction for the offense of murder.  In this appeal, appellant attempts to bring a separate appeal from the denial of his motion for new trial.  Appellant may challenge the denial of the motion for new trial in the appeal from appellant’s conviction.  Accordingly, appellate timetables for perfection run from the date of sentencing or the signing of an appealable order, not from the overruling of a motion for new trial.  Tex. R. App. P. 26.2.  An appeal from the denial of a motion for new trial, separate and apart from an appeal from the conviction, is therefore improper.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
