                            COURT OF APPEALS

                   THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG
____________________________________________________________

DONNA NICOLE CHAMBERLAIN,                                                   Appellant,

                                           v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                 Appellee.
____________________________________________________________

              On appeal from the 28th District Court
                   of Nueces County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

           Before Chief Contreras and Justices Silva and Peña
            Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Contreras

      This cause is before the Court on appellant’s amended motion to dismiss this

appeal. The amended motion was signed by both counsel and the appellant. We find the

amended motion meets the requirement of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.2(a)

that appellant and attorney must sign a written motion to dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 42.2(a).
       Additionally, on February 2, 2023, the cause was abated for the trial to determine

whether the appellant and/or appellant’s counsel had abandoned the appeal. On

February 23, 2023, we received a supplemental clerk’s record which contained

defendant’s motion to abandon the appeal and an order granting that motion signed by

the trial court judge.

       Accordingly, the appeal is hereby reinstated and the amended motion to dismiss

is granted. Without passing on the merits of the case, the appeal is hereby dismissed.

Having dismissed the appeal at appellant’s request, no motion for rehearing will be

entertained.

                                                             DORI CONTRERAS
                                                             Chief Justice

Delivered and filed on the
16th day of March, 2023.
