SCOTT MICHAEL JACKSON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Court at Law
Bowie County, Texas
Trial Court No. 01M1868-CCL
Before Cornelius, C.J., Grant and Ross, JJ.
Opinion by Chief Justice Cornelius
O P I N I O N

Scott Michael Jackson has filed an appeal from his conviction for driving while intoxicated. He is represented by retained counsel, Daniel Siler. The record was not filed, and although counsel orally informed our clerk's office that his client wanted to dismiss the appeal, he did not confirm that in writing, despite several attempts by our Court to remind him to do so.

Accordingly, we abated his appeal for a hearing. The trial court conducted the hearing at which both Siler and Jackson appeared. Based on the evidence presented at that hearing, the trial court entered a finding that Jackson did not wish to pursue the appeal.

The appeal is dismissed.
