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

      This matter is before the Court on appellants’ unopposed amended motion to

dismiss. On February 2, 2021, this cause was abated for purposes of settlement

negotiations. The matter has been fully settled and an agreed final judgment entered.
       The Court, having considered appellants’ amended motion, is of the opinion that

the amended motion should be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a). Therefore, this

cause is reinstated, appellants’ amended motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is

hereby dismissed. Accordingly, appellees’ motion for mediation and motion for extension

of time to file a brief are dismissed as moot.

       Finally, 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.”).

                                                                NORA L. LONGORIA
                                                                Justice

Delivered and filed on the
16th day of December, 2021.
