        ORDER ON APPELLANT’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO DISMISS APPEAL


Before QUINN, REAVIS and JOHNSON, JJ.

       The Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services, appellant, has moved to

dismiss its appeal contending that it “has decided not to appeal this cause.” Without passing

on the merits of the case, we grant the motion pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure

42.1(a)(2) and dismiss the appeal without prejudice.        Having dismissed the appeal at

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

issue forthwith.
