                      CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG
____________________________________________________________

                   IN THE MATTER OF G.A.T.

             On appeal from the 377th District Court
                   of Victoria County, Texas.

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

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

       On October 17, 2022, appellant filed a notice of appeal attempting to appeal a

transfer of appellant’s determinate sentence probation to the appropriate district court

pursuant to 54.051(d) of the Texas Family Code See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 54.051(d).

On October 27, 2022, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that it appeared appellant

was attempting to appeal an order that was not appealable. On March 14, 2023, after

appellant failed to respond to the clerk’s notice, the matter was abated to the trial court.
The trial court was ordered to determine whether appellant wished to pursue his appeal

and whether appellant had effectively abandoned his appeal, among other things.

       Upon review of the supplemental clerk’s record submitted on March 30, 2023, the

trial court found appellant is unable to legally pursue his appeal and in the alterative the

appeal is abandoned. Furthermore, counsel for appellant moved the trial court to withdraw

the subject appeal.

       Appellant has abandoned his appeal and has not responded to the notices from

the Clerk of the Court requiring a response or other action within the time specified;

accordingly, the matter is reinstated, and the appeal is dismissed for want of

prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c).

                                                        CLARISSA SILVA
                                                        Justice

Delivered and filed on the
18th day of May, 2023.
