TEXAS GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY ASSOCIATION,
Appellant
V.
CITY OF ODESSA, Appellee

On Appeal from the 244th District Court
Ector County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. C25020212CV

MEMORANDUM OPINION
This appeal arises from the trial court’s final order declaring a “Transparency
and Ethics Interlocal Agreement” void and unenforceable as a matter of law and
providing for a permanent injunction against Appellant. Appellant has filed a
“Notice of Withdrawal of Appeal,” stating that it “no longer desires to appeal from
the final judgment . . . and any other pending matters before this Court.” Appellant
states that it “files this Notice of Withdrawal of Appeal for purposes of dismissing
the pending Appellate review.”
We construe Appellant’s filing as a motion to dismiss its appeal. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). Accordingly, we grant Appellant’s request and dismiss the
appeal. See id.
