Before REAVIS and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.

                            ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

      By opinion dated December 16, 2005, this court dismissed appellant, Kerwin Gibbs’

appeal for want of prosecution pursuant to Rule 38.8(a)(1) and 42.3(b), (c) of the Texas

Rules of Appellate procedure. By motion for rehearing, appellant contends all matters in

controversy were settled between the parties prior to this court’s order. The pleadings and
the motion for dismissal filed with the petition for rehearing confirm this contention.

Accordingly, the motion for rehearing is granted and the case is reinstated.

      Appellant has filed before this court a motion to dismiss the appeal, citing settlement

of all matters in controversy. Appellee has confirmed the settlement by a responsive

pleading. From the record it is clear that appellant does not desire to pursue the appeal.

      Without passing on the merits of the appeal, we grant the motion and dismiss the

appeal. TEX . R. APP . P. 42.1(a). Pursuant to the motion, costs are to be assessed against

the party incurring them. Having dismissed the appeal by agreement of the parties, no

motion for rehearing will be entertained and our mandate will issue forthwith.
