On Appeal from the County Criminal Court of Appeals No. 1 Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. MC-14-R0012-D
ORDER
Before the Court is appellant's February 12, 2015, motion to determine proper designation of case and appropriate appellate filing fee. In his motion, appellant asks this Court to change the designation of this case from civil to criminal and determine that, because this is a criminal proceeding, it is exempt from the appellate filing fee. We DENY the motion to the extent the case will remain on our docket as a civil case. We GRANT the motion to the extent that we DIRECT the Clerk of the Court that no filing fee or motion fees will be collected in this bond forfeiture appellate proceeding. See Safety Nat'l Cas. Corp. v. Texas, 305 S.W.3d 586, 588 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010).
