in the Interest of J.M.-H., Children ( 2015 )

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-15-00003-CV IN THE INTEREST OF J.M.-H., a Child From the 37th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2014-PA-00209 Honorable Richard Garcia, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Marialyn Barnard, Justice Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Delivered and Filed: May 6, 2015 MOTION TO DISMISS GRANTED; APPEAL DISMISSED Appellant filed a motion to dismiss this appeal. 1 We grant the motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). We order that no costs be assessed against appellant because he is indigent. PER CURIAM 1 This is an appeal from the associate judge’s order terminating appellant’s rights to his child. After the order of termination was rendered, appellant not only filed a notice of appeal, but sought de novo review in the district court as permitted under the Texas Family Code. After review, the district court reformed the order of termination, reversing the associate judge’s order terminating appellant’s parental rights to his child. Accordingly, the appeal from the order of termination is unnecessary as appellant obtained relief during the de novo review process.
