                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

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

       Appellant, Courtney Hinojosa, was convicted of tampering with or fabricating

physical evidence. On December 12, 2013, this Court abated the appeal because of

counsel’s failure to file a brief and instructed the trial court to make findings as to whether

the appellant desires to prosecute this appeal.

       Based on the trial court hearing, the trial court judge found that appellant does not

wish to prosecute her appeal and counsel’s failure to file a brief is consistent with
appellant’s desire.

       Although no written motion has been filed in compliance with Rule 42.2(a) of the

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, based upon the evidence at the hearing that

appellant does not want to continue her appeal, we conclude that good cause exists to

suspend the operation of Rule 42.2(a) in this case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 2.   Accordingly,

we dismiss the appeal.

                                                       PER CURIAM

Do not publish. See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

Delivered and filed the
20th day of February, 2014.
