JESUS S. CORTEZ AND
EDNA ESTHER CORTEZ, Appellants,
v.
BENITO NAVARRO URIBE, Appellee.
ON APPEAL FROM THE 93RD DISTRICT COURT
OF HIDALGO COUNTY, TEXAS
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Tijerina and Justices West and Cron
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Cron
Upon the parties request, we abated this appeal to permit them to continue to
engage in settlement negotiations. They have since filed an “Agreed Motion to Set Aside
Judgment and Remand,” signed by both parties, requesting that we dispose of the appeal
in accordance with their settlement agreement. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2). The Court,
in accordance with the parties’ agreement, reinstates the appeal, grants the agreed
motion, sets aside the trial court’s judgment without regard to the merits, remands the
case to the trial court for rendition of judgment in accordance with the agreement, and
taxes appellate costs against the party incurring same. See id. R. 42.1(a)(2)(B), (d); 43.4.
Having disposed of the appeal at the parties’ request, no motions for rehearing will be
entertained.
JENNY CRON
Justice
Delivered and filed on the
29th day of October, 2026.
