Pending before the
Court is a joint motion to remand, requesting that this 
Court remand the case to the trial
court for rendition of judgment in accordance with the parties= compromise and settlement
agreement.  See Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(a)(2)(B).
On October 18,
2005, this Court referred the parties to mediation pursuant to Tex.Civ.Prac.&Rem.Code Ann. ' 154.021, et. seq.  A mediation was held on November 22, 2005,
but the case did not settled during the mediation.  However, the parties represent that since
mediation, the parties have continued discussions and negotiations of the
matter and have now reached an agreement compromising and settling the underlying
claim.  The Court has considered this
cause on the parties=
motion and concludes the motion should be GRANTED.

Accordingly, we
set aside the trial court=s
judgment without regard to the merits and remand this cause to the trial court
for rendition of judgment in accordance with the parties=
compromise and settlement agreement.
