                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      The appellant, Michael Ray Newbern, and the Office of the Attorney

General of Texas filed a joint motion for reversal and remand of the order

enforcing a child support obligation. The appellant and the Attorney General

advise the Court that they have reached a settlement and they have requested that

the case be remanded to the trial court for entry of judgment in accordance with

their settlement agreement. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(2)(B). It appears from the

copy of the document submitted with the announcement of settlement that the

custodial parent has also joined the settlement agreement. The custodial parent did

                                        1
not file a notice of appeal, and we have not received any objection from the

custodial parent regarding the joint motion for reversal and remand. Therefore, we

vacate the judgment of the trial court without regard to the merits and remand the

cause to the trial court for further proceedings. Id.

      VACATED AND REMANDED.
