TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                     NO. 03-23-00231-CV

                                     In the Matter of E. S.

             FROM THE 391ST DISTRICT COURT OF TOM GREEN COUNTY
        NO. D-22-0033-J, THE HONORABLE BRAD GOODWIN, JUDGE PRESIDING

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant, E.S., a juvenile, has filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss this appeal

from an order rendered by the trial court modifying a previous juvenile-court disposition. See

Tex. Fam. Code § 56.01(c)(1)(D). Appellant’s motion is accompanied by a waiver that is signed

by appellant and his attorney and that includes a statement that appellant has been advised by his

attorney regarding his right to appeal and that he understands the consequences of dismissing his

appeal. We conclude that 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 re A.S.H., 615 S.W.3d

699, 699–700 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2021, no pet.); In re J.Z., No. 08-19-00049-CV, 2019 WL

3812365, at *1, (Tex. App.—El Paso Aug. 14, 2019, no pet.) (mem. op). Accordingly, we grant

the motion and dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(1).
