                   of Nueces County, Texas.

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

             Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Benavides
                    Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Appellant, Larry Green, filed a pro se notice of appeal regarding his conviction for

the failure to register as a sex offender in trial court cause number 14-CR-0022-G in the

319th District Court of Nueces County, Texas. However, appellant has now filed two

motions to dismiss his appeal. Appellant is unrepresented by counsel and has made no

request for the appointment of counsel.     Accordingly, we conclude that appellant’s
motions comply with the requirements of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.2(a).

See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a) (allowing voluntary dismissals in criminal appeals where the

attorney and appellant both sign a written motion to dismiss); see also Flores v. State,

No. 07-08-0256-CR, 2008 WL 4180296, at *1 (Tex. App.—Amarillo Sept. 12, 2008, no

pet.) (not designated for publication) (stating that a pro se appeal could be dismissed in

accordance with a motion signed by the appellant); Guerra v. State, No. 04-02-00135-

CR, 2002 WL 1973854, at *1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Aug. 28, 2002, no pet.) (per

curiam) (not designated for publication) (stating that a pro se motion to dismiss signed by

the appellant complied with the appellate rules pertaining to the voluntary dismissal of

criminal appeals). Without passing on the merits of the case, we GRANT the motions to

dismiss pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.2(a) and DISMISS the appeal.

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

entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.
