COURT OF APPEALS SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS FORT WORTH
NO. 02-15-00434-CR
SHONDA LEE MOXLEY APPELLANT
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE
----------
FROM THE 432ND DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY TRIAL COURT NO. 1417154D
----------
MEMORANDUM OPINION1
----------
On July 20, 2015, in the sentencing hearing in trial court cause number 1414818D, the trial court granted Appellant Shonda Lee Moxley’s plea in bar and barred further prosecution of charges in trial court cause number 1417154D, the underlying cause in this appeal. But approximately three months later, the trial court convicted her in the underlying cause of felony theft and sentenced her to four years’ confinement upon her plea of true to the enhancement paragraph.
1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
Appellant mailed a notice of appeal less than two weeks later. Before this court received the notice of appeal, however, the trial court vacated Appellant’s conviction and sentence in the underlying cause pursuant to an agreed motion to vacate based on the prior order granting the plea in bar.
We notified Appellant in writing of our concern that we lack jurisdiction in this appeal because the conviction has been vacated,2 and, in an abundance of caution, we also noted that if she were trying to appeal from the order granting the plea in bar, we likewise lack jurisdiction.3 We stated that this appeal could be dismissed absent a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. We have received no response.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.4 Appellant’s appeals from the judgments in trial court cause number 1414818D and a third trial court cause number, 1412917D, remain pending.5
