Head Matter:
Thomas DAVENPORT, Appellant, v. Susan DAVENPORT, Appellee.
No. 91-943.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Nov. 19, 1991.
Fred M. Dellapa, for appellant.
Somberg & Marks, and Reed B. Som-berg, for appellee.
Before FERGUSON, LEVY and GERSTEN, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Appellant, Thomas Davenport, appeals the dismissal of his petition for modification of child custody. We affirm.
The trial court correctly ruled that "the State of Texas is the more appropriate forum to decide the issues of custody and visitation rights of the children." See Yurgel v. Yurgel, 572 So.2d 1327 (Fla.1990); see also § 61.1316, Fla.Stat. (1987). The children have many more contacts with the State of Texas than they do with Florida. Accordingly, we affirm.
Affirmed.
LEVY and GERSTEN, JJ., concur.
