                           COURT OF APPEALS

                  THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                    CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
____________________________________________________________

WILLIAM BRANDON PITCHFORD,                                                Appellant,

                                          v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                 Appellee.
____________________________________________________________

             On appeal from the 252nd District Court
                  of Jefferson County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

            Before Justices Rodriguez, Benavides, and Perkes
                    Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Counsel for appellant filed a motion to dismiss his appeal.         In a signed

attachment, appellant states that he no longer wishes to pursue 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.

                                                                       PER CURIAM

Do not publish.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

Delivered and filed the 5th
day of January, 2012.
