M E MO RA N D UM O PI NI O N
Before this Court is Appellantโs unopposed motion to dismiss this appeal. Appellant states
that the parties have reached an agreement resolving all claims in the underlying case.
Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1 provides the actions a court may take to dispose
of an appeal on the motion of the appellant or by agreement of the parties. On the motion of
appellant, the court may dismiss the appeal or affirm the appealed judgment or order. Tex. R.
App. P. 42.1(a)(1). When parties file an agreement signed by all parties or their attorneys, the court
may: โ(A) render judgment effectuating the partiesโ agreement; (B) set aside the trial courtโs
judgment without regard to the merits and remand the case to the trial court for rendition of
judgment in accordance with the agreement; or (C) abate the appeal and permit proceedings in the
trial court to effectuate the agreement.โ Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(2)(A)โ(C).
The parties have not filed a copy of their settlement agreement with this Courtโs clerk as
required for a dismissal under Rule 42.1(a)(2). We conclude that the motion seeks a voluntary
dismissal by Appellant pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(1) (providing for
dismissal on appellantโs motion). The motion is granted, and the appeal is dismissed. Costs are
taxes against Appellant. Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(d).
