Court of Appeals of Texas, Dallas.

August 15, 1995.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

C. Tony Wright, Law Offices of C. Tony Wright, P.C., Dallas, for Appellant.

Thomas F. Keever, Assistant District Attorney, Dallas, for Appellees.

Before BAKER, KINKEADE, and JAMES, JJ.

OPINION

BAKER, Justice.

This is a summary judgment case. Eddie Dees sued Dallas County and Sheriff Jim Bowles to recover bail bond approval fees. In 1992, the Texas Supreme Court held that Texas counties had no statutory authority to collect preconviction bond approval fees. The supreme court concluded that existing statutes authorized collection of fees only in civil matters, not criminal matters.
