ON APPEAL FROM THE 430TH DISTRICT COURT OF HIDALGO COUNTY, TEXAS
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Tijerina and Justices Cron and Fonseca Memorandum Opinion by Justice Cron
A jury found appellant Hector Barajas guilty of four counts of indecency with a child
by sexual contact, second-degree felonies. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 21.11(a)(1), (d).
Barajas timely filed a notice of appeal. However, Barajas has since filed a motion to
voluntarily dismiss his appeal signed by Barajas and his counsel. See TEX. R. APP. P.
42.2(a) (providing that, in a criminal case, the appellant has the right to voluntarily and unilaterally dismiss the appeal “[a]t any time before the appellate court’s decision”).
Accordingly, we grant Barajas’s motion and dismiss the appeal. See id. Having dismissed
the appeal at Barajas’s request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained.
