                   IN THE MATTER OF R.D.D., Appellant

                   On Appeal from the 314th District Court
                            Harris County, Texas
                     Trial Court Cause No. 2021-00909J

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      This is an appeal from a final determination order signed on May 8, 2023.
See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. §§ 54.04; 56.01(c)(1)(C). The final order determined
that appellant, a juvenile, engaged in delinquent conduct and committed him to the
custody of the Texas Juvenile Justice Department for ten years with a possible
transfer to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

      Appellant has filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss this appeal. Appellant’s
motion is signed by appellant and states that appellant knowingly waives his
appeal and understands the possible consequences of waiving the appeal.
Appellant’s motion is sufficient to show that he has knowingly and voluntarily
waived his right to appeal. See Tex. Fam. Code § 51.09; In the Matter of A.S.H.,
615 S.W.3d 699 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2021, no pet.); In the Matter of E.S., No.
03-23-00231-CV, 2023 WL 4405466 (Tex. App.—Austin July 7, 2023, no pet.).
Accordingly, we grant the motion and dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P.
42.1(a)(1).
