MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

A jury convicted Jesse Lee Gates of driving while intoxicated. The court assessed Gates's punishment at 180 days' confinement and a $1,000 fine, suspended imposition of sentence, and placed him on community supervision for 2 years. Gates appealed. Gates has now filed a motion to withdraw his appeal. Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.2(a) provides:

At any time before the appellate court's decision, the appellate court may dismiss the appeal if the party that appealed withdraws its notice of appeal — by filing a written withdrawal in duplicate with the appellate clerk, who must immediately send the duplicate copy to the trial court clerk. An appellant must personally sign the written withdrawal.

TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a). We have not issued a decision in this appeal. Gates personally signed the motion. The Clerk of this Court has sent a duplicate copy to the trial court clerk. See id.; McClain v. State, 17 S.W.3d 310, 311 (Tex.App.-Waco 2000, no pet.) (per curiam). Accordingly, Gates's appeal is dismissed.
