IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-12-00047-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF R.P. AND E.A.P., CHILDREN,
From the 264th District Court
Bell County, Texas
Trial Court No. 250472-D
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant has filed a motion to dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1).
It states that Appellant mistakenly appealed to this Court when, because he was
appealing from a district court in Bell County, he should have appealed to the Third
Court of Appeals.1
Because this Court lacks jurisdiction of an appeal from a district court in Bell
County, which is within the jurisdiction of the Third Court of Appeals, we grant
Appellant’s motion in part and dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See TEX.
GOV’T. CODE ANN. §§ 22.220(a), 22.201(c, k) (West Supp. 2011).
1 The Court notified Appellant of the jurisdictional problem in a February 14, 2012 letter.
