Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, Texas Youth Commission, Evins Regional Juvenile Center, perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the 206th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas, in cause number C-542-07-D. Appellant has filed an opposed motion to dismiss its appeal. More than ten days have passed, and appellee has not filed a response to the motion to dismiss. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.3 (a).

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's motion to dismiss the appeal, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a). Based on our review of the record, dismissal of the appeal would not prevent a party from seeking relief to which it would otherwise be entitled. See id. 42.1(a)(1). Accordingly, appellant's motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED. Pending motions, if any, are likewise DISMISSED. Costs will be taxed against appellant. See id. 42.1(d) ("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant."). Having dismissed the appeal at appellant's request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.
