                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      This is an appeal from a judgment signed March 17, 2021. We abated the
appeal on December 15, 2020, for the parties to finalize their settlement agreement.
On January 22, 2021, the parties filed a joint motion asking this court to render
judgment effectuating their settlement agreement. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(2)(A).
Specifically, they ask that we vacate the trial court’s judgment and dismiss the
underlying case with prejudice. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(e).

      We reinstate the appeal and grant the motion. Per the parties’ agreement:

      1. The trial court’s March 17, 2020 final judgment is vacated.

      2. The underlying cause is dismissed with prejudice.

      3. All costs of court and attorney’s fees in the underlying cause and in this
          appeal shall be borne by the party that incurred such costs and fees, and
          no party shall be responsible for any attorneys’ fees and costs of court
          incurred by any other party.

                                  PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Jewell and Poissant.
