GONZALEZ v. STATE (2017)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On December 20, 2016, the Bexar County Clerk filed a supplemental clerk's record that contained copies of (1) appellant's Motion to Withdraw Notice of Appeal filed in the trial court and (2) the trial court's order granting the motion. The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure require that, if an appellant wishes to withdraw her appeal “[a]t any time before the appellate court's decision, ․ [t]he appellant and ․ her attorney must sign the written motion to dismiss and file it in duplicate with the appellate clerk, who must immediately send the duplicate copy to the trial court clerk.” TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a) (emphasis added). Appellant's attorney did not file the motion with this court. Nevertheless, because the motion is signed by both appellant and her attorney, we will treat the motion as having been filed in this court.

We grant the motion and dismiss the appeal.
