                                       MEMORANDUM OPINION
                  Before Justices Francis and Myers and Chief Justice Thomas, Retired1
                                Opinion by Chief Justice Thomas, Retired
           On December 13, 2013, the trial court signed its Order Granting Temporary Injunction

at the request of appellees Lakeview Heights Addition Property Owners’ Association and

Barbara Wohlrabe. Appellants BCH Development, LLC and Blanchard Homes, LLC filed this

interlocutory appeal challenging the temporary injunction. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE

ANN. § 51.014(a)(4).             While the interlocutory appeal was pending, the trial court granted

appellees’ Motion for Partial Summary Judgment in part and signed its Order Granting

Permanent Injunction. A copy of the Order Granting Permanent Injunction has been filed in this

     1
       The Honorable Linda Thomas, Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals for the Fifth District of Texas—Dallas, Retired, sitting by
assignment.
Court. The permanent injunction addresses the same issue as the temporary injunction: limits on

the construction of a residence by appellants at 6148 Monticello Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75214.

       If, while on the appeal of the granting or denying of the temporary injunction, the trial

court enters a permanent injunction in the same matter, our consideration of the temporary

injunction becomes moot. See Richards v. Mena, 820 S.W.2d 372 (Tex. 1991). When a case

becomes moot on appeal, the appeal is dismissed. Isuani v. Manske–Sheffield Radiology Grp.,

P.A., 802 S.W.2d 235, 236 (Tex. 1991).

   Accordingly, we dismiss the interlocutory appeal as moot.
