THERESA HANCOCK, Appellant

 

V.

 

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

 

 

On Appeal from the 23rd District Court

Brazoria County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 60,612

 

 

MEMORANDUM  OPINION

On December 13, 2010, appellant’s counsel filed a motion to dismiss this appeal.  The motion did not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.2(a) in that it was not signed by appellant.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2.  The court’s attempt to contact counsel by phone to remedy the defect was unsuccessful.  On December 14, 2010, the court sent a letter to counsel advising her of the defect in the motion and requesting that she file an amended or supplemental motion.  No response was filed. 

Accordingly, on January 11, 2011, this court abated the appeal for the trail court to conduct a hearing to determine whether appellant desires to prosecute her appeal.  On March 7, 2011, a supplemental clerk’s record was filed containing appellant’s signature joining the motion to dismiss the appeal.  Because this court has not issued an opinion, we reinstate the appeal and grant appellant’s request.

Accordingly, we order the appeal dismissed.  We direct the clerk of the court to issue the mandate of the court immediately.

 

PER CURIAM
