IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-16-00024-CR CHRISTOPHER WAYNE EICHHOLZ, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee From the 21st District Court Burleson County, Texas Trial Court No. 14,399 MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant Christopher Wayne Eichholz has filed a motion to dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a). Rule 42.2(a) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure states: At any time before the appellate court’s decision, the appellate court may dismiss the appeal upon the appellant’s motion. The appellant and his or her attorney must sign the written motion to dismiss and file it in duplicate with the appellate clerk, who must immediately send the duplicate copy to the trial court clerk. Id. We have not issued a decision in this appeal. The motion is signed by Eichholz’s attorney, and although Eichholz did not sign the motion itself, he did sign an affidavit in which he swore to having read the motion and acknowledged that the facts contained in the motion are true and correct. The motion and affidavit substantially comply with Rule 42.2(a) and are therefore a sufficient basis on which to dismiss this appeal. See White v. State, 993 S.W.2d 381, 382 (Tex. App—Waco 1999, no pet.). The motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is dismissed. REX D. DAVIS Justice Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Davis, and Justice Scoggins Appeal dismissed Opinion delivered and filed August 10, 2016 Do not publish [CR25] Eichholz v. State Page 2
