                  Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter
                               MEMORANDUM OPINION
       Appellant, Ted Eugene Slanker, Jr., has filed with this Court an agreed motion to set

aside the trial court’s judgment and remand the case to the trial court. The parties represent to

this Court that they have reached a full and final settlement and ask us to remand the case to the

county court at law for approval of the settlement.    In such a case, no real controversy exists,

and in the absence of a controversy, the appeal is moot.

       We grant the motion. We set aside without regard to the merits the judgment of the trial

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

agreement. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2)(B). Unless otherwise agreed by the parties pursuant

to their agreement, costs on appeal are divided equally between the parties.

       The appeal is dismissed.

                                                      Jack Carter
