[1] Texas Rule of
Appellate Procedure 42.1(a) permits the appellate court to dispose of an appeal
in accordance with an agreement signed by the parties or their attorneys and
filed with the clerk.  See Tex.
R. App. P. 42.1(a).  This joint motion requests dismissal of the appeal
and remand for entry of further orders by the trial court in accordance with
the settlement.  While this Court may dismiss an appeal pursuant to an
agreement by the parties, we are not permitted to dismiss and remand for
further proceedings.  See id., 42.1(a)(2)(B).
