Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-10-00495-CV

In the Interest of R. A. Q.

FROM COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY NO. 09-3302-FC1, HONORABLE GEORGE E. HOLMES, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant John Mark Quaak and appellee the Office of the Attorney General have

both filed motions to dismiss. Quaak contends that the entire cause should be dismissed because the

OAG lacks standing to bring this case. We deny Quaak’s motion. The OAG contends that this

appeal should be dismissed because Quaak on May 23, 2010, timely requested de novo review of the

associate judge’s order, preventing the order from being final and appealable. We grant the OAG’s

motion and dismiss this appeal. The cause may proceed at the trial court level.
