                            NUMBER 13-19-00316-CV

                            COURT OF APPEALS

                  THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
____________________________________________________________

        IN THE INTEREST OF A.G. AND C.M.G, CHILDREN.
____________________________________________________________

             On appeal from the 398th District Court
                   of Hidalgo County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                                      ORDER
               Before Justices Benavides, Longoria, and Perkes
                              Order Per Curiam

      Appellant Arthur Fred Garza appealed a default judgment establishing the parent-

child relationship entered by the 398th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas in cause

number F-4874-18-I.    We previously dismissed this appeal for want of prosecution

because appellant failed to pay the filing fee for the appeal. See In re A.G., No. 13-19-

00316-CV, 2019 WL 4493704, at *1 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi–Edinburg Sept. 19, 2019,

no pet. h.) (mem. op.). Appellant has now filed a verified motion for reconsideration,

rehearing, and reinstatement.    According to appellant’s motion, he was entitled to
proceed with this appeal as an indigent who was excused from paying the filing fees, and

the trial court clerk failed to forward the proper documentation establishing his indigency

to this Court.

       The Court, having fully examined and considered appellant's motion for rehearing

is of the opinion that, in the interest of justice, appellant's motion for rehearing should be

granted. See generally TEX. R. APP. P. 2, 20, 44.3. Accordingly, we grant appellant’s

motion for rehearing and we withdraw our previous opinion and judgment. This appeal

remains pending before the Court and will proceed in accordance with the timelines

established by the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.

       It is so ORDERED.

                                                                 PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the
17th day of December, 2019.
