William Lotin Parker v. State
Citation: Not availableDocket: 13-11-00444-CR
Court: Court of Appeals of Texas; August 25, 2011; Texas; State Appellate Court
Original Court Document: View Document
William Lotin Parker appealed his conviction in the Thirteenth Court of Appeals of Texas. However, the trial court had granted his motion for a new trial on July 8, 2011, which restored the case to its pre-trial status, thereby removing any conviction to appeal. Citing Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 21.9(b) and referencing Waller v. State, the Court concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the appeal because there was no conviction in place. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The dismissal was finalized on August 25, 2011, and the opinion was to remain unpublished.
