MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Moseley, Lang, and Brown Opinion by Justice Lang Mother filed this appeal on August 22, 2013. Two weeks later, a September 4, 2013 e-

mail from Mother to a Collin County deputy clerk was filed in the Court. In the e-mail, Mother

stated she would “no longer appeal.” By letter dated September 19, 2013, we informed Mother

that we would construe the e-mail as a motion to dismiss the appeal unless, within ten days, she

notified the Court that she intended to pursue the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). To date,

Mother has not communicated with the Court. Accordingly, we grant the motion and dismiss the

appeal. See id.
