HECTOR BARAJAS, Appellant,

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

ON APPEAL FROM THE 430TH DISTRICT COURT
OF HIDALGO COUNTY, TEXAS

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Tijerina and Justices Cron and Fonseca
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Cron

A jury found appellant Hector Barajas guilty of four counts of indecency with a child

by sexual contact, second-degree felonies. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 21.11(a)(1), (d).

Barajas timely filed a notice of appeal. However, Barajas has since filed a motion to

voluntarily dismiss his appeal signed by Barajas and his counsel. See TEX. R. APP. P.

42.2(a) (providing that, in a criminal case, the appellant has the right to voluntarily and
unilaterally dismiss the appeal “[a]t any time before the appellate court’s decision”).

Accordingly, we grant Barajas’s motion and dismiss the appeal. See id. Having dismissed

the appeal at Barajas’s request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained.
