Opinion
APPELLANTS
APPELLEES
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.
