On Appeal from the 24th District Court of Victoria County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Longoria and Hinojosa
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Longoria
Counsel for appellant filed an amended motion to dismiss his appeal. In a signed affidavit attached to the motion, appellant states that he has read the motion to dismiss appeal and all facts stated therein are true and correct. We find the motion and affidavit 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.
