                          MEMORANDUM OPINION
   Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Benavides and Hinojosa
                Memorandum Opinion by Justice Hinojosa

      Appellants have filed an interlocutory appeal of the trial court’s granting of a

temporary injunction. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014(a)(4). Currently

before the Court is the parties’ joint motion to dismiss the appeal as moot. In their joint

motion to dismiss, the parties represent that the trial court has since granted appellants’
plea to the jurisdiction, dismissing all of appellee’s claims. The parties therefore urge the

Court to dismiss the appeal as moot. See Hernandez v. Ebrom, 289 S.W.3d 316, 319

(Tex. 2009) (“Appeals of some interlocutory orders become moot because the orders

have been rendered moot by subsequent orders.”). The Court, having considered the

documents on file and the motion to dismiss the appeal, is of the opinion that the motion

should be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a). The motion to dismiss is granted and

the appeal is hereby DISMISSED. Appellants shall bear the costs of this appeal. See

id. R. 42.1(d).   Having dismissed the appeal at the parties’ request, no motion for

rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith. Appellants’ motion

to submit the case for consideration is dismissed as moot.

                                                                LETICIA HINOJOSA
                                                                Justice

Delivered and filed the
30th day of May, 2019.
