in the Interest of E.O., a Child ( 2016 )

IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-16-00299-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF E.O., A CHILD
From the 85th District Court
Brazos County, Texas
Trial Court No. 15-001044-CV-85
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.
