             On appeal from the 105th District Court
                   of Nueces County, Texas.

                       MEMORANDUM OPINION
           Before Justices Benavides, Perkes, and Tijerina
            Memorandum Opinion by Justice Benavides
      This case is before the Court on a joint motion to dismiss appeal and accelerate

mandate. According to the motion, the parties have reached an agreement to settle and

compromise their differences. Previously, on September 12, 2017, appellant filed a

Notice of Bankruptcy, and on September 13, 2017 this Court ordered the matter abated.

The parties now ask the Court to dismiss the appeal. The parties also ask that mandate
issue concurrently with our opinion and judgment. Rule of Appellate Procedure 18.1(c)

authorizes the early issuance of mandate on a motion of the parties. Tex. R. App. P.

18.1(c).

       The court REINSTATES the appeal and grants the joint motion to dismiss, and the

appeal is hereby DISMISSED. Costs will be taxed against appellant. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 42.1(d) ("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the

appellant.").

       The parties’ joint motion to issue mandate is also granted. We direct the Clerk of

the Court to issue the mandate immediately. Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.

                                                             GINA M. BENAVIDES,
                                                             Justice

Delivered and filed the
23rd day of April, 2020.
