V.

STATE OF TEXAS FOR THE PROTECTION OF MELISSA WATTS, APPELLEE On Appeal from the 433rd District Court Comal County, Texas

Trial Court No. C2020-1335D, Honorable Charles A. Stephens II, Presiding January 8, 2021

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before PIRTLE and PARKER and DOSS, JJ.

Appellant, Heath Bryn Payne, appeals from the trial court’s Family Violence Protective Order.1 Now pending before this Court is Payne’s motion seeking voluntary dismissal of his appeal. The Court finds the motion complies with the requirements of Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(1) and that granting the motion will not prevent any party from seeking relief to which it would otherwise be entitled. As no decision of the Court has been delivered to date, we grant the motion. The appeal is dismissed. Because the motion does not address costs, costs will be taxed against Payne. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d). No motion for rehearing will be entertained and our mandate will issue forthwith.
