Memorandum Opinion delivered and filed January 31, 2008.
On Appeal from the 156th District Court of Bee County, Texas.
Before Chief Justice VALDEZ and Justices RODRIGUEZ and GARZA.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, a minor, by and through counsel, has filed a motion to withdraw her notice of appeal. According to her motion, appellant, after reviewing the facts and circumstances of the case, no longer desires to proceed with the appeal and requests this Court to 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); see also TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 56.01(b) (Vernon 2002) ("requirements governing an appeal [of an order of a juvenile court] are as in civil cases generally"). Appellant's motion to dismiss is GRANTED, and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED. Costs of the appeal are taxed against appellant, although appellant is exempt from payment due to her affidavit of inability to pay costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d) ("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant."). Pending motions, if any, are DISMISSED AS MOOT.
Having dismissed the appeal at appellant's request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.
