Olivia Overturf v. Robert Garcia

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-18-00777-CV
Olivia Overturf, Appellant
v.
Robert Garcia, Appellee
FROM THE 53RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-FM-06-001047, THE HONORABLE AMY CLARK MEACHUM, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Olivia Overturf appeals from the trial court’s September 27, 2018 final order
rendered on Robert Garcia’s petition to modify the parent-child relationship. The order appointed
Garcia sole managing conservator of the parties’ son, B.M.G., who was born on November 1,
2001. However, because B.M.G. recently reached the age of majority, there is no longer a
live controversy, rendering Overturf’s appeal moot. See In re E.H., No. 02-07-343-CV, 2008
WL 2404490, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth June 12, 2008, no pet.) (mem. op.); Ngo v. Ngo,
133 S.W.3d 688, 691 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 2003, no pet.); see also Williams v. Lara,
52 S.W.3d 171, 184 (Tex. 2001) (justiciable controversy must exist between parties at every stage
of legal proceedings, including appeal).
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal as moot.
