        Court of Appeals
Second Appellate District of Texas

          No. 02-23-00063-CV

  IN THE INTEREST OF B.M., A CHILD

  On Appeal from the 360th District Court
          Tarrant County, Texas
      Trial Court No. 360-696318-21

  Before Womack, Wallach, and Walker, JJ.
    Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion
               MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT

       We have considered the parties’ “Rule 42.1(a)(2) Joint Motion to Dismiss

Appeal and Remand to Trial Court for Entry of Agreed Final Judgment.” It is the

court’s opinion that the motion should be granted; therefore, we set aside the trial

court’s judgment without regard to the merits and remand this case to the trial court

to render judgment in accordance with the parties’ agreement.1 See Tex. R. App. P.

42.1(a)(2)(B); Innovative Off. Sys., Inc. v. Johnson, 911 S.W.2d 387, 388 (Tex. 1995)

(order).

       Each party must bear its own costs of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(d), 43.4.

                                                     Per Curiam

Delivered: June 22, 2023

       Although the phrase “Joint Motion to Dismiss” appears in the title of the
       1

motion, the parties do not actually request that we dismiss this appeal—and
understandably so, because “we cannot both set aside the trial court’s judgment and
dismiss [an] appeal.” Lone Tree Res. & Consulting, Inc. v. Persepolis, Inc., No. 02-21-
00246-CV, 2021 WL 6143641, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Dec. 30, 2021, no pet.)
