MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
On May 25, 2021, appellant filed a notice of appeal in the trial court, and a copy was filed with us the next day. Appellant states in her notice that she requests a trial de novo on the merits of this case, which concerns child support arrears. After receiving this filing, a deputy clerk of our court contacted the office of appellant's counsel, and a paralegal in the office indicated that the notice of appeal was not intended as an appeal to our court. The deputy clerk requested that appellant file a motion to dismiss the appeal. On August 10, 2021, appellant filed a "Notice of Nonsuit and Voluntary Dismissal," requesting that we "enter a Nonsuit on all claims against Appellee." We construe appellant's filing as a motion to dismiss this appeal. Appellee has not responded. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.3(a). Therefore, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). Costs of the appeal are taxed against appellant.
