Opinion

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-22-00157-CV

IN THE MATTER OF THE MARRIAGE OF DOUGLAS CAPENER AND KRISTEN YARBROUGH AKA KRISTEN CAPENER AND IN THE INTEREST OF B.C. AND K.C., CHILDREN

From the 361st District Court Brazos County, Texas Trial Court No. 16-001458-CVD-361

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Douglas Capener appealed the trial court’s Order on Petitioner’s Request for De

Novo Relief. Capener now moves to dismiss his appeal because the trial court has signed

an Agreed Order Granting Motion for New Trial vacating the Order on Petitioner’s

Request for De Novo Relief.

No party will be prevented from seeking relief to which they are entitled if the

motion is granted. Accordingly, Capener’s motion to dismiss is granted, and this appeal

is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1).

There being no agreement otherwise, costs are taxed against Capener. See id. (d). Capener’s filing fee has not been paid. Absent a specific exemption, the Clerk of

the Court must collect filing fees at the time a document is presented for filing. TEX. R.

APP. P. 12.1(b); Appendix to TEX. R. APP. P., Order Regarding Fees (Amended Aug. 28,

2007, eff. Sept. 1, 2007). See also TEX. R. APP. P. 5; TEX. GOV'T CODE §§ 51.207(b); 51.208; §

51.941(a). Under these circumstances, we suspend the rule and order the Clerk to write

off all unpaid filing fees in this case. TEX. R. APP. P. 2. The write-off of the fees from the

accounts receivable of the Court in no way eliminates or reduces the fees owed by

Capener.
