IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-20-00252-CV IN THE ESTATE OF JULIA LOPEZ, DECEASED From the County Court McLennan County, Texas Trial Court No. 20140322PR1 MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant, Andrew Lopez, has filed a motion to dismiss his appeal in this matter. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). Appellant states that he “no longer wishes to appeal this matter and requests that the Court dismiss this case.” Dismissal of this appeal will not prevent any other party from seeking relief to which it would otherwise be entitled. Accordingly, the motion is granted, and this appeal is dismissed. We also note that appellant has not paid the filing fees for this appeal. 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 TEX. R. APP. P. 5; TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. §§ 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 appellant. JOHN E. NEILL Justice Before Chief Justice Gray Justice Davis, and Justice Neill Appeal dismissed Opinion delivered and filed October 14, 2020 [CV06] In the Estate of Lopez Page 2
