This is
an appeal from a temporary injunction signed March 16, 2007.  On July 8, 2009,
counsel for appellee advised this court that the case was tried to a jury
during the month of June, 2009.  Although a judgment has not yet been signed,
the parties entered a stipulation to dissolve the temporary injunction that is
the subject of this appeal.  On July 1, 2009, the trial court signed an order
dissolving the injunction.  Therefore, the issues in this appeal have been
rendered moot.
A
temporary injunction preserves the status quo pending a trial on the merits. 
Tex. R. Civ. P. 683.  An appeal of a temporary injunction becomes moot upon the
trial on the merits or dissolution of the temporary injunction.  See, e.g.,
Guajardo v. Alamo Lumber Co., 159 Tex. 225, 317 S.W.2d 725, 726 (Tex.
1958); G & R Inv. v. Nance, 588 S.W.2d 804, 806 (Tex. Civ. App.CHouston [14th Dist.] 1979, writ ref=d n.r.e.).
Accordingly,
the appeal is ordered dismissed as moot.
