                    Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      On September 23, 2010, this appeal was abated to allow the parties the

opportunity to finalize settlement. This case is before the Court on an agreed motion to

lift abatement and vacate the trial court’s judgment in accordance with the parties’

settlement agreement.    The parties have reached an agreement with regard to the
disposition of the matters currently on appeal. Pursuant to the agreement, the parties

request this Court to vacate the trial court=s judgment and remand this case to the trial

court with instructions to dismiss the case with prejudice in accordance with the parties’

settlement agreement.

       The agreed motion to lift abatement and vacate the trial court’s judgment in

accordance with the parties’ settlement agreement is GRANTED. The appeal is hereby

REINSTATED. Accordingly, we vacate the trial court=s judgment without regard to the

merits, and REMAND this case to the trial court with instructions to dismiss the case with

prejudice in accordance with the parties’ settlement agreement. See TEX. R. APP. P.

42.1(a)(2)(B).

       Costs will be taxed against appellants. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d) ("Absent

agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant.").
