                  MEMORANDUM OPINION

           Before Justices Hinojosa, Tijerina, and Silva
             Memorandum Opinion by Justice Silva
        This matter is before the Court on appellants’ unopposed motion for voluntary

dismissal of appeal. 1 This matter was abated on November 22, 2021, to allow the parties

the opportunity to engage in ongoing settlement negations. Appellants now desire to

dismiss this appeal because the parties have settled this case, and nothing remains for

this Court to decide.

        The Court, having considered appellants’ motion, is of the opinion that the motion

should be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). Therefore, this cause is reinstated,

appellants’ unopposed motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is hereby dismissed.

Costs will be taxed against the appellants. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d) (“Absent

agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant.”). Because the

appeal is dismissed at the appellants’ request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained.

                                                                        CLARISSA SILVA
                                                                        Justice

Delivered and filed on the
27th day of January, 2022.

        1 This case is before the Court on transfer from the First Court of Appeals pursuant to a docket
equalization order issued by the Supreme Court of Texas. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 73.001.
