in the Guardianship of Christopher James Kling, an Incapacitated Person

Opinion

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-19-00143-CV

IN THE GUARDIANSHIP OF CHRISTOPHER JAMES KLING, AN INCAPACITATED PERSON

From the County Court at Law No. 1 Brazos County, Texas Trial Court No. 489-G

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Christopher James Kling’s Guardian ad Litem filed an appellee’s brief in this case,

in which she argued that this appeal should be dismissed as moot. The Texas Health and

Human Services Commission subsequently filed an “Appellant’s Reply Brief,” in which

it states that it “agrees that this appeal should be dismissed as moot, and respectfully

requests that this honorable Court grant the Commission such other and further relief to

which it has shown itself to be entitled, either at law or in equity.”

We construe the Commission’s “Appellant’s Reply Brief” as a motion to dismiss

this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). Dismissal of this appeal would not prevent a party from seeking relief to which it would otherwise be entitled. The motion is therefore

granted, and the appeal is dismissed.

REX D. DAVIS Justice
