IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-12-00097-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF E.E.C. AND T.L.C., CHILDREN
From the County Court at Law
Hill County, Texas
Trial Court No. 39,657
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Stephanie Clark, filed a notice of appeal from an adverse judgment
issued by the trial court in response to Clark’s request to modify a prior custody order.
Now, Clark has filed an agreed motion to dismiss the appeal. In the prayer of the
motion, Clark requests that we dismiss the appeal, set aside the trial court’s February
22, 2012 Order in Suit to Modify Parent-Child Relationship without regard to the merits,
and remand the case back to the trial court for entry of a Final Decree of Divorce that
comports with the parties’ Rule 11 agreement which has been attached to the motion to
dismiss.
We are not permitted by the Rules of Appellate Procedure to both dismiss the
appeal and remand the case. Compare TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1) with TEX. R. APP. P.
42.1(a)(2)(B); see City of Milford v. Calderon, No. 10-10-00247-CV, 2010 Tex. App. LEXIS
9680 (Tex. App.—Waco Dec. 8, 2010, no pet.) (mem. op). Accordingly, we grant Clark’s
motion in part, set aside the trial court’s February 22, 2012 Order without regard to the
merits, and remand the case to the trial court for further proceedings. See TEX. R. APP. P.
42.1(a)(2)(B).
There being no agreement otherwise, costs are taxed against appellant, Stephanie
Clark. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d).
