                    On Appeal from the 295th District Court
                            Harris County, Texas
                      Trial Court Cause No. 2016-24818

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      This is an appeal from a judgment signed November 15, 2019. On May 18,
2023, the parties filed a joint motion to dismiss the appeal “with prejudice” as the
parties have settled all controversies between them and have released the
judgment. The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure speak only of dismissal of an
appeal; neither “with prejudice” nor “without prejudice” is appended to the word
“dismissal.” See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1. Because the judgment has been released,
this court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal. Rapp v. Mandell & Wright, P.C., 123
S.W.3d 431, 436 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2003). We grant the motion to
dismiss this appeal as moot and we dismiss this case for lack of jurisdiction.

                                   PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Bourliot and Wilson.
