In The
Court of Appeals For The
First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-18-00245-CV ——————————— IN THE INTEREST OF A.J.H., CHILD, Appellant
On Appeal from the 314th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2017-00233J
ORDER
D.G. and E.H. appeal from a decree of termination of parental rights signed
on March 8, 2018. On May 31, 2018, appellant D.G. advised this court that the trial
court had granted his motion for new trial. D.G. filed an unopposed motion to
dismiss his appeal as moot. When the trial court grants a motion for new trial, it returns the case to its
position before trial and renders the appeal moot. See TEX. R. APP. P. 21.9(b);
Wilkins v. Methodist Health Care Sys., 160 S.W.3d 559, 563 (Tex. 2005). Because
the trial court granted D.G.’s motion for new trial, his appeal of the trial court’s
decree is moot.
Accordingly, we grant the motion and dismiss D.G.’s appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a), 43.2(f). The appeal of E.H. remains pending.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Higley, Brown, and Caughey.
