NUMBER 13-17-00211-CV
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
EX PARTE ARMANDO CARDOZA RODRIGUEZ
On appeal from the 197th District Court
of Cameron County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Contreras and Hinojosa
Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Valdez
This appeal was abated by this Court on July 27, 2017, because a petition for bill
of review was set to be heard before the trial court. This cause is now before the Court
on appellant’s motion to dismiss the appeal. Appellant requests that this Court dismiss
the appeal because the bill of review was granted, the trial court signed an order denying
the petition for expunction, and the appellant no longer wishes to pursue the appeal.
Accordingly, this case is hereby REINSTATED.
The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant’s motion to
dismiss the appeal, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See TEX. R. APP.
P. 42.1(a). Appellant’s motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is hereby
DISMISSED. Costs will be taxed against appellant. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d)
("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant.").
Having dismissed the appeal at appellant’s request, no motion for rehearing will be
entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.
