IN THE INTEREST OF CHILD v. << (2016)

Court of Appeals of Texas, Waco.

IN THE INTEREST OF E.O., A CHILD

No. 10-16-00299-CV

Decided: November 02, 2016

Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Davis, and Justice Scoggins

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Luis Gallegos appealed the trial court's order terminating Gallegos's parental rights to E.O., a child. Gallegos has now filed a motion to dismiss his appeal. Accordingly, the motion is granted, and this appeal is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a).

Absent a specific exemption, the Clerk of the Court must collect filing fees at the time a document is presented for filing. TEX. R. APP. P. 12.1(b); Appendix to TEX. R. APP. P., Order Regarding Fees (Amended Aug. 28, 2007, eff. Sept. 1, 2007). See also TEX. R. APP. P. 5; 10TH TEX. APP. (Waco) LOC. R. 5; TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. §§ 51.207(b); 51.208; § 51.941(a) (West 2013). Under these circumstances, we suspend the rule and order the Clerk to write off all unpaid filing fees in this case. TEX. R. APP. P. 2. The write-off of the fees from the accounts receivable of the Court in no way eliminates or reduces the fees owed.
