MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Silva and Peña
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Silva
On March 8, 2023, the cause was abated for the trial court to determine whether
the appellant and/or appellant’s counsel had abandoned the appeal. This cause is now
before the Court on appellant’s motion to dismiss this appeal. The motion was signed by
both counsel and the appellant. We find the motion meets the requirement of Texas Rule
of Appellate Procedure 42.2(a) that appellant and attorney must sign a written motion to
dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a).
Accordingly, the appeal is hereby reinstated and the motion to dismiss is granted.
Without passing on the merits of the case, the appeal is hereby dismissed. Having
dismissed the appeal at appellant’s request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained.
