NOS. 12-19-00179-CR 12-19-00180-CR IN THE COURT OF APPEALS TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT TYLER, TEXAS JOSE ALBERTO CARRILLO, § APPEALS FROM THE 114TH APPELLANT V. § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE § SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM Appellant Jose Alberto Carrillo, acting pro se, filed a notice of appeal in trial court cause numbers 114-1192-18 and 114-0462-19. On May 14, 2019, this Court requested that Appellant file a docketing statement within ten days if he had not already done so. Appellant did not file the docketing statement as requested. On July 9, this Court notified Appellant that the docketing statement was past due and requested that Appellant file a docketing statement no later than July 19. Appellant again did not file the requested docketing statement. On July 23, we remanded the matter and ordered the trial court to immediately conduct a hearing to determine the cause of Appellant’s failure to file the docketing statement, and whether Appellant abandoned the appeals.

We also ordered that the trial court make appropriate findings.

In compliance with our order, the trial court conducted a hearing on July 24 and subsequently filed findings of fact. These findings reflect that Appellant acknowledged to the trial court that he no longer wishes to pursue the appeals.

“At any time before the appellate court’s decision, the appellate court may dismiss the appeal upon the appellant’s motion.” TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a). In this case, Appellant has not filed a motion to dismiss the appeals. Nevertheless, based on Appellant’s statement to the trial court that he does not desire to pursue the appeals and the trial court’s findings to that effect, good cause exists to suspend Rule 42.2(a) in this case. See Detwiler v. State, No. 02-18-00457-CR, 2019 WL 984179, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Feb. 28, 2019, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication) (based on record reflecting appellant no longer desired to pursue appeal, good cause existed to suspend Rule 42.2(a)). In doing so, we conclude that Appellant no longer desires to pursue these appeals and we dismiss the appeals. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(f); see also Detwiler, 2019 WL 984179, at *1 (dismissing appeal where Appellant did not file motion to dismiss, but expressed desire not to pursue appeal).
