TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-11-00678-CV
Rhett Webster Pease, Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF LEE COUNTY, 21ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 14342, HONORABLE JOHN M. DELANEY, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellee, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, has filed a Motion
to Dismiss for Mootness based upon the death of appellant, Rhett Webster Pease. The judgment
appealed terminated appellant’s parental rights to a child. At the time of the trial court’s judgment
there were no intervenors at the trial level and none have asserted a right to appeal in this case. The
trial court’s judgment expressly did not affect the child’s right to inherit. Because no other legal
interests have been asserted or are apparent, we grant the motion and dismiss this appeal as moot.
Jeff Rose, Justice
Before Chief Justice Jones, Justices Pemberton and Rose
Dismissed as Moot
