      It has come to the court’s attention that the notice of appeal from the above-

referenced trial court cause number was filed under a criminal docket number. The

appeal should have been given a civil docket number. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann.

art. 47.12(a); Bretz v. State, 508 S.W.2d 97, 97–98 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974).

Accordingly, appeal number 02-19-00245-CR is ordered closed. The appeal from the

above trial court cause number will proceed under appeal number 02-19-00297-CV in
                                                                             FILE COPY




the same manner as in other civil cases. All papers that have been filed in the closed

appeal number shall be considered filed in appeal number 02-19-00297-CV.

      We direct the clerk of the court to send a notice of this order to the appellant,

the attorneys of record, the trial court judge, the trial court clerk, and the court

reporter.
