                Memorandum Opinion by Justice Longoria

      Appellants, Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District and Dr. Rene

Gutierrez, in his Official Capacity as Superintendent of ECISD, filed an accelerated

appeal from an order entered by the County Court at Law No. 1 of Hidalgo County, Texas,
in cause number CL-19-1591-A. Appellants have filed an unopposed motion to dismiss

for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Appellants request that this Court dismiss the

appeal without prejudice.

       The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellants’ unopposed

motion to dismiss the appeal, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a). Appellant’s motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is

hereby DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. 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."). Having dismissed the appeal at appellants’ request, no motion

for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.
