• holding that a letter to counsel purporting to grant a motion for new trial, even though filed with the court clerk, was not a final order because it directed counsel to prepare an order, indicating trial court’s intent that a formal order would follow
• noting that necessity of “written order that is express and specific” applies equally to measure of time for appellate deadlines and for determining motion for new trial
