In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-23-00836-CV ——————————— IN THE MATTER E.L.V., Appellant

On Appeal from the 313th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2023-00735J

MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant E.L.V., a juvenile, has filed an unopposed motion to voluntarily dismiss his appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1) (voluntary dismissal of civil appeals); see also TEX. FAM. CODE § 56.01(b) (juvenile appeals are governed by rules “in civil cases generally”). Appellant’s motion, signed by appellant and his attorney, includes a statement that appellant is informed of his right to appeal and understands the consequences of dismissing of his appeal. We conclude that appellant’s motion is sufficient to show that he has knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to appeal. See TEX. FAM. CODE § 51.09. Accordingly, we grant the motion and dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1).

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Goodman, Landau, and Hightower.
