2That is, the parties
ask us to render judgment effectuating the parties= agreement and
to abate this case until the trial court’s proceedings to effectuate this
settlement agreement are complete and to remand this case to the trial
court for rendition of judgment.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(2)(A), (B), (C). 
Rule 42.1(a)(2), however, permits us to render judgment effectuating the parties= agreement or
to set aside the trial court=s judgment and remand the case to the trial court for
rendition of judgment in accordance with the agreement or to abate the
appeal and permit proceedings in the trial court to effectuate the agreement;
we cannot do all three or portions of all three.  See Tex. R. App. P.
42.1(a)(2)(A), (B); see also Cunningham v. Cunningham, No.
