Appeal from the 90th District Court

                                                     Trial
Court Cause No. 32,499

            On
November 10, 2011, after the attorney of record failed to file a brief in this
case and sent this court a motion to dismiss appeal that did not comply with Tex. R. App. P. 42.2 because it was not
signed by appellant, Walter Ray Bridges, we abated the appeal.  We requested
that the trial court conduct a hearing pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b) to determine, among other things,
whether appellant desired to prosecute his appeal.  The trial court held the hearing on December 13, 2011, and the
supplemental records from that hearing have been furnished to this court. 
After the hearing, the trial court entered an order stating that appellant
“does not desire to prosecute his appeal” and that appellant “agrees that the
Motion to Dismiss Appeal be granted.” The record from the hearing supports the
trial court’s determinations.  The record shows that appellant appeared at the
hearing, stated in open court that he no longer desired to pursue his appeal, and
asked that this court grant the motion to dismiss his appeal.
In
accordance with appellant’s request, we dismiss the appeal.
