ALTHEA VOYNN WILSON APPELLANT v. THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE
FROM CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 4 OF TARRANT COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On May 3, 2013, the trial court held a hearing on the status of this appeal. At that hearing, Appellant Althea Voynn Wilson stated to the trial court, "I do not want to appeal." Wilson's retained trial counsel subsequently informed this court in writing that Wilson did not want to pursue an appeal. Construing Wilson's statement to the trial court and her retained counsel's statement to this court together, we conclude that rule of appellate procedure 42.2(a)'s substantial requirements have been met, and we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a), 43.2(f).
