Before Womack, Wallach, and Walker, JJ. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT

Appellant has moved to dismiss his appeal.1 Because we have not yet decided

this case, we grant the motion and dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a),

43.2(f).

Per Curiam

Do Not Publish Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b)

Delivered: February 15, 2024

Appellant’s motion did not include Appellant’s signature indicating his 1

agreement with the motion. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a). Accordingly, we abated the appeal and ordered the trial court to conduct a hearing to ascertain whether Appellant desired to prosecute his appeal. The trial court conducted such a hearing, and Appellant stated on the record that he did not want to move forward with his appeal. The trial court subsequently made a written finding that “Appellant no longer desires to prosecute his appeal.”
