TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                        NO. 03-09-00636-CV

                              Foley Property Assets, LLC, Appellant

                                                   v.

                                      Donnie Tasker, Appellee

   FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 200TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
  NO. D-1-GN-09-001009, HONORABLE GISELA D. TRIANA-DOYAL, JUDGE PRESIDING

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION

                Appellant filed its notice of appeal on November 4, 2009, and soon thereafter filed

a motion to abate, explaining that the trial court was going to be considering motions that might

affect the status of the appeal. The trial court then granted appellant’s motion to set aside the default

judgment from which appellant sought to appeal. Because it appeared to this Court that the appeal

was mooted by the trial court’s action, we sent the parties notice and asked them to explain whether

this Court could properly exercise jurisdiction or whether the appeal should be dismissed. See

Naifeh v. Reyes-Naifeh, No. 08-07-00252-CV, 2008 Tex. App. LEXIS 4090, at *3 (Tex.

App.—El Paso June 5, 2008, no pet.); Stelly v. Citibank N.A., No. 14-07-00601-CV, 2008 Tex. App.

LEXIS 3541, at *2 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] May 15, 2008, no pet.). Appellant responded

and stated that it agreed that the appeal should be dismissed. We therefore dismiss the appeal for

want of jurisdiction. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). We also dismiss as moot any pending motions.
