    No. 07-86-0200-CV.
    Court of Appeals of Texas, Amarillo.
    Dec. 27, 1988.
    Hinkle, Cox, Eaton, Coffield, Hensley, Richard R. Wilfong, Jerry F. Shackelford and David T. Markette, Amarillo, for appellant.
    Rain, Harrell, Emery, Young & Doke, Marshall M. Searcy, Jr., Dallas, Gassaway, Gurley, Sheets & Mitchell, Jody G. Sheets, Borger, for appellees.
    Before REYNOLDS, C.J., and DODSON and BOYD, JJ.
   ON JOINT DISPOSITION MOTION

REYNOLDS, Chief Justice.

On 26 August 1988, we rendered our judgment, accompanied by our lengthy opinion explaining the reasons for, affirming the trial court’s judgment decreeing Liquid Energy Corporation’s monetary liability to Trans-Pan Gathering, Inc. and Trans-Pan Pipeline Company, granting in-junctive and declaratory relief, awarding attorney’s fees, and adjudging that W.R. Edwards, Jr. take nothing by his claim against Liquid Energy. 758 S.W.2d 627 (Tex.App.— Amarillo 1988). Later on 13 October 1988, we overruled Liquid Energy’s motion for rehearing. Because the Supreme Court granted Liquid Energy an extension of time to file an application for writ of error that has not expired, we still retain jurisdiction of the appeal.

Now, all parties have filed a joint motion, advising of the settlement of all matters in dispute on this appeal. As a result, they

jointly move the Court to vacate its judgment of August 26, 1988, which affirmed the trial court’s judgment. Pursuant to Rules 80, 81 and 82, Texas Rules of Civil Procedure [sic ], this Court is authorized to render a judgment that the trial court could render, including taxing costs. Appellant and Appellees move the Court to render judgment reversing the trial court’s judgment and granting a take nothing judgment in favor of Appellant, Liquid Energy Corporation, and providing that each party shall bear its own costs.

All parties

also move the Court to order the release of the principal and all sureties on any supersedeas bonds filed in this action.

Additionally, the parties “move the Court to vacate or withdraw its opinion of August 26, 1988.”

The granting of the motion will provide a final disposition of the appeal. The motion is granted. Tex.R.App.P. 59(a)(1)(A).

Accordingly, our judgment and opinion dated 28 August 1988 are vacated. The judgment of the trial court is reversed, and judgment is here rendered that Trans-Pan Gathering, Inc., Trans-Pan Pipeline Company, and W.R. Edwards, Jr. take nothing by their actions asserted against Liquid Energy Corporation in this cause.

It is further ordered that the principal and all sureties on any supersedeas bonds filed in this cause are hereby released. All costs are adjudged against the party incurring the same.

Inasmuch as this disposition of the cause is made upon the granting of the joint motion of all parties, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and the mandate shall issue forthwith.
