                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
     Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Longoria
                    Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      This appeal was abated by this Court on June 25, 2012, due to the bankruptcy of

one of the parties to this appeal. See 11 U.S.C. ' 362; see generally TEX. R. APP. P. 8.

This cause is now before the Court on the parties’ joint motion to dismiss appeal on
grounds that the parties have settled and compromised their differences. The parties

request that this Court dismiss the appeal.          Accordingly, this case is hereby

REINSTATED.

      The Court, having considered the documents on file and the parties’ joint motion to

dismiss, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a).

The parties’ joint motion to dismiss is GRANTED, and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED.

In accordance with the agreement of the parties, costs are taxed against the party

incurring same. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d) ("Absent agreement of the parties, the court

will tax costs against the appellant.").   Having dismissed the appeal at the parties’

request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.

                                                PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the
31st day of January, 2013.
