and compromise their differences and request that this Court vacate the trial court’s judgment

without regard to the merits, and remand the case to the trial court for entry of an order

dismissing the case with prejudice.

       This Court has the authority to set aside the trial court’s judgment without regard to the

merits and remand the case to the trial court for rendition of judgment in accordance with the

agreements. TEX .R.APP.P. 42.1(a)(2)(B). Having considered the cause on the parties’ motion,

we conclude the motion should be granted. We hereby set aside the trial court’s judgment and

remand the case for entry of an order of dismissal with prejudice in accordance with the parties’

agreement. As the motion does not specify that the parties have agreed otherwise, costs of appeal

will be taxed against Appellant. See TEX .R.APP.P. 42.1(d).
