BRAYDEN SCOTT ROUPP, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 70th District Court
Ector County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. A241142CR

MEMORANDUM OPINION
A jury convicted Appellant, Brayden Scott Roupp, of the first-degree felony
offense of murder and assessed his punishment at life imprisonment in the Texas
Department of Criminal Justice. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 19.02(b), (c) (West
Supp 2025). The trial court sentenced him accordingly. Appellant filed a notice of
appeal from the trial court’s judgment.
Appellant has now filed a motion to “[w]ithdraw” his appeal. In the motion,
Appellant states that he “does not desire to appeal the verdict of guilt or the
sentencing by the jury.” He states that his attorney “has advised [him] that once he
withdraws his right to appeal, he will no longer have the opportunity to do so[,] and
in full understanding, [Appellant] does desire to [w]ithdraw his [a]ppeal.”
We construe Appellant’s motion as a request to dismiss his appeal. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 42.2(a). The motion is signed by Appellant and Appellant’s attorney in
compliance with Rule 42.2(a). Id.
We grant Appellant’s motion and dismiss this appeal.
