In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-25-00192-CV ——————————— ROY W. CULLEN, Appellant V. LEGACY TRUST COMPANY, N.A., Appellee

On Appeal from the 164th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2025-11179

MEMORANDUM OPINION On May 30, 2025, appellant Roy W. Cullen filed a document entitled “Notice of Non-Suit” in this appeal requesting that the Court “non-suit the appeal without prejudice.” As stated in our Court’s June 26, 2025 notice to appellant, the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure authorize dismissals, not nonsuits. See Int. of F.S., No. 14-20-00623-CV, 2021 WL 1257267, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Apr.

6, 2021, no pet.) Moreover, the rules do not describe dismissals as being with or without prejudice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42. Accordingly, we construe appellant’s “Notice of Non-Suit” as a motion for voluntary dismissal under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(1). So construed, the motion is granted, and the appeal is dismissed.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Caughey and Johnson.
