MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

Because no brief had been filed for appellant, on November 7, 2002 we abated this appeal and ordered a hearing in the trial court. Among the issues the trial judge was to consider was whether appellant desired to prosecute the appeal. The trial court's findings and recommendations have been filed in this Court. They read, in pertinent part, as follows:

On February 28, 2003, at 9:00 a.m. the trial court announced the case in open court.

Appellant and counsel appeared. Previously, counsel informed the court that his client freely and voluntarily wished to dismiss her appeal. The appellant, in open court, signed a motion to dismiss that was also signed by counsel. The motion is attached to these findings. The trial court concludes that Appellant has freely and voluntarily moved to dismiss her appeal. The trial court recommends the Court of Appeals grant the motion. Accordingly, we order the appeal reinstated. The motion to dismiss the appeal was attached to the trial court's findings, and it complies with Rule 42.2(a) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a). We have not yet issued a decision. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. The clerk of this Court is directed to issue the mandate immediately. Tex. R. App. P. 18.1.
