motion, which is signed by Mother and her counsel, states that Mother no longer wishes to pursue

this appeal. 2 We GRANT the motion as construed and dismiss the appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(1)

Id. 2 The motion does not include a certificate of conference as required by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.1(a)(5), but we find good cause to invoke Rule 2 to suspend the certificate of conference requirement of Rule 10.1(a)(5) to MARIA SALAS MENDOZA, Chief Justice
