““ Hanner, supra, does not stand for the principle that once notice of appeal is filed the trial court cannot rule upon a motion for new trial. It does stand for the proposition that one cannot amend a motion that has been previously overruled. Art. 40.05(b), V.A.C.C.P. [currently] specifically provides that a motion for new trial may be amended without leave of court at anytime prior to the overruling of said motion.” Drewery, 677 S.W.2d at 536 . (emphasis added).”
