MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Paul Earl Dorsey, filed a writ of mandamus requesting that we order the district court clerk to transfer his Cause No. 2002-831-3 to Coryell County. Cause No. 2002-831-3 has already been transferred to Coryell County. Thus, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus as moot.
Absent a specific exemption, the Clerk of the Court must collect filing fees at the time a document is presented for filing. TEX. R. APP. P. 12.1(b); Appendix to TEX. R. APP. P., Order Regarding Fees (July 21, 1998); see also Tex.R.App.P. 5; 10TH TEX. APP. (WACO) LOC. R. 6; TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. §§ 51.207(b), 51.901 (Vernon 2005). Under these circumstances, we suspend the rules and order the Clerk to write off all unpaid filing fees in this case. TEX. R. APP. P. 2.
