Many people confuse filing an appeal with getting a new trial—but they are not the same. At Barina Law Group, we help clients in Temple understand their post-conviction options and choose the right legal strategy.

A motion for new trial happens in the same trial court and usually claims:

  • Jury misconduct
  • Newly discovered evidence
  • Legal errors made during the trial

A criminal appeal is filed in a higher court and reviews the trial for:

  • Legal mistakes that affected the outcome
  • Violations of due process
  • Misapplication of Texas criminal procedure

We handle both. Our legal team thoroughly reviews the record, preserves error for appeal, and files strong, persuasive appellate briefs.

If you’re unsure which route to take, we can evaluate your case and explain the pros and cons of each.
