                                  No. 10-16-00125-CV

            IN THE INTEREST OF M.R. AND L.G.R., CHILDREN

                             From the 74th District Court
                              McLennan County, Texas
                             Trial Court No. 2015-1337-3

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Candace Rios appealed the trial court’s order terminating Rios’s parental rights.

A motion to dismiss her appeal has now been filed.

       Rio’s motion is granted. The appeal is dismissed. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1).

       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; 10TH TEX. APP. (WACO) LOC. R. 5; TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. §§ 51.207(b); 51.208; §

51.941(a) (West 2013). 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.
