§ 109.002(d) (West Supp. 2018). See also TEX. R. APP. P. 9.8(b). 2 We invoke Appellate Rule 2 to suspend the operation of Appellate Rule 9.5(d) as C.V.’s motion to dismiss did not contain proof of service or a certificate of service. See TEX. R. APP. P. 2; 9.5(d), (e). Having dismissed this appeal at C.V.’s request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained
