              On appeal from the 93rd District Court
                   of Hidalgo County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION
  Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Benavides
                  Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

       Appellant perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the 93rd District Court

of Hidalgo County, Texas, in cause number C-2541-10-B.               Appellant has filed an

unopposed motion to dismiss the appeal on grounds that the issues raised in this appeal

are identical to and preserved in another appeal filed by appellant. For purposes of

efficiency, appellant requests that this Court dismiss the appeal.
      The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant=s unopposed

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.



                                                           PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the
7th day of April, 2011.
