Opinion

IN THE COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT OF TEXAS,


AT AUSTIN




ON MOTION FOR REHEARING





NO. 3-91-363-CV






MARY MELVINA MARTIN AND ANTHONY L. MARTIN,


APPELLANTS



vs.






CITY OF SCHERTZ, COMAL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

AND COUNTY OF COMAL,


APPELLEES







FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF COMAL COUNTY, 22ND JUDICIAL DISTRICT


NO. C-90-602C, HONORABLE ROBERT T. PFEUFFER, JUDGE








PER CURIAM





In their motion for rehearing, appellees County of Comal and Comal Independent School District correctly point out this Court's error in taxing costs in this proceeding against appellees. A taxing unit is not liable for court costs in a suit to collect taxes. Tex. Prop. Code Ann. § 33.49(a) (1982); Leander Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Texas Conference Ass'n of Seventh-Day Adventists, 679 S.W.2d 487, 488 (Tex. 1984); El Campo Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Kimmey, 571 S.W.2d 865, 866 (Tex. 1978); Houston Lighting & Power Co. v. Dickinson Indep. Sch. Dist., 794 S.W.2d 402, 408 (Tex. App. 1990, writ denied); see Tex. R. App. P. Ann. 89 (Pamph. 1992).

Accordingly, we grant appellees' motion for rehearing. We withdraw our judgment, dated July 8, 1992, and substitute our judgment taxing all costs of this appeal against appellants Mary Melvina Martin and Anthony L. Martin.
