       We reinstate this appeal, which we abated to allow the trial court an opportunity to conduct

the necessary proceedings to effectuate the parties’ settlement agreement. By unopposed motion

filed December 7, 2018, appellant moves to dismiss the appeal in light of the trial court’s signed

“Order Approving Settlement Involving Minor Plaintiff and Judgment.” We grant the motion and

dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a).
