                                        In The

        Eleventh Court of Appeals
                                     ___________

                                No. 11-23-00087-CV
                                     ___________

                     THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellant
                                           V.
                 $20,800.00 IN U.S. CURRENCY, Appellee

                      On Appeal from the 35th District Court
                              Brown County, Texas
                        Trial Court Cause No. CV2301025

                      MEMORANDUM OPINION
      This appeal arises from the trial court’s order dismissing the State’s cause of
action for the civil forfeiture of $20,800 in United States currency seized from
Jack Arthur Hicks. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. ch. 59 (West 2018); TEX. R.
CIV. P. 91a. The State has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). In its motion, the State asserts that, “[a]fter researching the issues
and reviewing the record . . . the State’s attorney has determined that pursuing an
appeal in this case is not in the interest of justice.” As a result, the State requests
that we dismiss the appeal.
      We grant the State’s motion and dismiss the appeal.

                                            W. BRUCE WILLIAMS
