FROM THE 43RD DISTRICT COURT OF PARKER COUNTY TRIAL COURT NOS. CR16-0114, CR16-0115 ----------
MEMORANDUM OPINION [1]
----------
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 *2 former trial. See Tex. R. App. P. 21.9(b). Accordingly, on our own motion, we dismiss these appeals as moot.
