                   On Appeal from the 269th District Court
                           Harris County, Texas
                     Trial Court Cause No. 2018-66742

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      This is an appeal from the trial court’s December 21, 2018 judgment. On July

9, 2019, we granted the unopposed motion to abate filed by appellees, David

Alleman and Alleman Consulting LLC, and abated this appeal “pending a trial court

determination as to whether the case ha[d] been rendered moot by a binding
compromise settlement agreement.” (Internal quotations omitted.) On January 26,

2023, appellant, Tetra Technologies, Inc., filed an unopposed motion to dismiss,

requesting that this Court dismiss the appeal and “discharge[] and release[]”

Argonaut Insurance Company as surety. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a). The motion

also requested that the parties bear their own appellate costs. See TEX. R. APP. P.

42.1(d). No opinion has issued.

      Accordingly, we reinstate the appeal on the Court’s active docket. The motion

to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a),

43.2(e). We order that Argonaut Insurance Company is discharged and released as

surety. We direct the Clerk of this Court that costs are to be taxed against the parties

who incurred the same. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d). We dismiss any other pending

motions as moot.

                                   PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Landau, Countiss, and Guerra.
