JOSHUA ERIC TOWNLEY APPELLANT

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE

----------

FROM THE 43RD DISTRICT COURT OF PARKER COUNTY TRIAL COURT NOS. CR16-0114, CR16-0115

MEMORANDUM OPINION1

Appellant Joshua Eric Townley timely filed a motion for new trial and a

notice of appeal from two judgments convicting him of sexual assault of a child.

See Tex. R. App. P. 21.4(a), 26.2(a)(2). The trial court subsequently timely

granted Townley’s motion for new trial. See Tex. R. App. P. 21.8(a). 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.
