INDEPENDENT EXECUTOR OF THE ESTATE OF CHARLES

Original Mandamus Proceeding
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This mandamus proceeding arises out of a lawsuit against Sue Simmons
White, who was named by Charles Franklin White as the independent executor of
his estate. The parties have filed a Joint Motion for Voluntary Dismissal in this court
because they have reached a settlement agreement and resolved the disputes below.
In the motion, the parties request that we (1) vacate our Second Amended Order,
which restrained the parties’ actions on property in the dispute, (2) lift the stay order
previously issued in this cause, and (3) dismiss the mandamus proceeding.
We grant the parties’ joint motion. We vacate the Second Amended Order
issued on September 18, 2025, and we dismiss this mandamus proceeding. The stay
previously issued in this cause is dissolved. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.10(b). Relators’
Motion to Expunge Lis Pendens is dismissed as moot.
