Appellant, S.T., filed an appeal from a judgment terminating her parental rights entered by the 430th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas in cause number CW-0026-15-J. Appellant has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal on grounds that she no longer wishes to pursue the appeal. Appellant requests that this Court dismiss the appeal.

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's motion to dismiss the appeal, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a).

P. 42.1(d) ("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant."). Having dismissed the appeal at appellant's request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.
