                                       MEMORANDUM OPINION

         Before this Court is the parties’ amended joint motion to dismiss this appeal pursuant to

Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(2). 1 We previously abated the appeal and remanded

the cause to the district court to permit proceedings to effectuate a settlement agreement. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2)(C). The parties’ joint motion to dismiss now states they have finalized

their agreement, and the district court has rendered judgment accordingly.

1
  The appeal was transferred to this Court from the Fourth Court of Appeals pursuant to a Texas Supreme Court docket
equalization order. Accordingly, we apply the Fourth Court of Appeals’ precedent to the extent it conflicts with our
own. See TEX. R. APP. P. 41.3.
       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, we may dismiss the appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). Accordingly, we grant the

motion, and the appeal is dismissed. As agreed by the parties, costs shall be borne by the party

incurring the same. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d).
