                            COURT OF APPEALS

                  THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
____________________________________________________________

JONATHAN PAUL WOMACK,                                                      Appellant,

                                          v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                 Appellee.
____________________________________________________________

                On appeal from the County Court
                    of Goliad County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

           Before Justices Rodriguez, Contreras, and Hinojosa
              Memorandum Opinion by Justice Rodriguez

      This appeal was abated by this Court on February 1, 2018, because appellant’s

brief was not filed. This cause is now before the Court on appellant’s motion to dismiss

the appeal. Accordingly, this case is hereby REINSTATED.

      The motion to dismiss appeal filed by counsel contains an attachment signed by

appellant. Appellant states he no longer wishes to continue with the appeal and would
like to withdraw his appeal.   We find the motion and attachment together meet the

requirement of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.2(a) that appellant and his attorney

must sign a written motion to dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a). Without

passing on the merits of the case, we grant the motion to dismiss pursuant to Texas Rule

of Appellate Procedure 42.2(a) and dismiss the appeal. Having dismissed the appeal at

appellant's request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will

issue forthwith.

                                                            NELDA V. RODRIGUEZ
                                                            Justice


Do not publish.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

Delivered and filed the
15th day of March, 2018.
