Namken Construction, Inc. and Brandon Namken, Appellants v. Jeffrey Anderson and Cynthia Anderson, Appellees (2015)

Court of Appeals of Texas, Austin.

Namken Construction, Inc. and Brandon Namken, Appellants v. Jeffrey Anderson and Cynthia Anderson, Appellees

NO. 03–15–00224–CV

Decided: June 25, 2015

Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Goodwin and Field

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellants Namken Construction, Inc. and Brandon Namken have filed a motion to dismiss this appeal, which appellees Jeffrey Anderson and Cynthia Anderson do not oppose, because the trial court granted appellants' motion for new trial.¹ See Wilkins v. Methodist Health Care Sys., 160 S.W.3d 559, 563 (Tex.2005) (“[W]hen the trial court grants a motion for new trial, the court essentially wipes the slate clean and starts over.”). There is no longer a final and appealable judgment over which we may exercise jurisdiction. See Lehmann v. Har–Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex.2001). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex.R.App. P. 42.3(a).
