On March 24, 2005, we abated the appeal to the trial court. We received the supplemental reporter's record on August 15, 2005. The appeal is hereby reinstated. On May 25, 2005, the trial court conducted a hearing to determine why the appellant's brief had not been filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8. The appellant personally appeared at the hearing and expressed her desire to dismiss her appeal.

The Court finds the appellant has voluntarily abandoned the appeal. Our opinion has not issued in this appeal, and the appellant stated in open court that she wishes to withdraw her notice of appeal. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
