NO. 01-07-00897-CV





IN THE MATTER OF L.E.M., Appellant






On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 3

Fort Bend County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. -9915





MEMORANDUM OPINIONThis is a juvenile case. When the appellate filing fee was past due, the Clerk of the Court sent appellant’s counsel a notice advising that payment had not been made and advising of a date by which it should be paid or that the appeal was subject to dismissal by the Court. The Court received no response.

 

          The Court abated the case and ordered the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine whether appellant or other responsible parties should pay the costs of appeal. On February 3, 2009, the trial court conducted the hearing at which counsel for appellant advised the trial court that appellant, who is now an adult, no longer wishes to proceed with the appeal. The trial court found that the issue of appeal is moot.

          Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Keyes, and Higley.
