Opinion

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-12-00047-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF R.P. AND E.A.P., CHILDREN,

From the 264th District Court Bell County, Texas Trial Court No. 250472-D

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant has filed a motion to dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1).

It states that Appellant mistakenly appealed to this Court when, because he was

appealing from a district court in Bell County, he should have appealed to the Third

Court of Appeals.1

Because this Court lacks jurisdiction of an appeal from a district court in Bell

County, which is within the jurisdiction of the Third Court of Appeals, we grant

Appellant’s motion in part and dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See TEX.

GOV’T. CODE ANN. §§ 22.220(a), 22.201(c, k) (West Supp. 2011).

1 The Court notified Appellant of the jurisdictional problem in a February 14, 2012 letter. REX D. DAVIS Justice

Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Davis, and Justice Scoggins Motion granted in part; appeal dismissed Opinion delivered and filed February 22, 2012 [CV06]
