Gwendolyn Gail Ollie v. State

Opinion

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-11-00178-CR

GWENDOLYN GAIL OLLIE, Appellant v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

From the County Court at Law No. 1 Brazos County, Texas Trial Court No. 07-00485-CRM-CCL1

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal of her DWI conviction and moved the

trial court to appoint counsel for her appeal. After a hearing, the trial court found that

Appellant was not indigent and denied appointed counsel. The Clerk’s Record reflects

that Appellant thereafter sent to the trial court a handwritten letter dated April 4, 2011

and signed by Appellant. Appellant’s letter states that, because Appellant cannot afford

an attorney for her appeal, she is withdrawing her request (to appeal). Also on April 4,

2011, the trial court signed a jail order stating in part that Appellant withdrew her appeal that day. Appellant signed that order, and by signing it, she acknowledged,

agreed, and understood the order’s terms.

We have not issued a decision in this appeal, and Appellant personally signed

the document withdrawing her appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a). This appeal is

therefore dismissed.
