MEMORANDUM OPINION

            Pending before the Court is Appellant’s “notice of nonsuit” which we have construed as a
motion to dismiss the appeal pursuant to Tex.R.App.P. 42.1.  There is nothing in the record to
indicate that dismissal would prevent Appellee from seeking relief to which she would otherwise be
entitled.  Accordingly, we grant the motion and dismiss the appeal with prejudice.  Because
Appellant does not indicate that the parties have reached an agreement regarding costs, we tax costs
against Appellant.  See Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(d)(absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs
against the appellant).
