COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
CITY OF HIDALGO & CITY OF ALTON, Appellants,
v.
YOLANDA L. RUIZ, INDIVIDUALLY, ET AL., Appellees.
On appeal from the 370th District Court
of Hidalgo County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Longoria
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
This case is before the Court on the unopposed motions filed by the City of Hidalgo
and the City of Alton to dismiss this appeal. According to the motions, the Cities of
Hidalgo and Alton have settled and compromised all claims pending between them and
appellees, Yolanda L. Ruiz, individually et al., and as a result the Cities no longer desire
to pursue this appeal. The Cities request that we dismiss this appeal and return this
case to the trial court for final disposition in that court. According to the motion, the
appellee is in agreement with the relief sought.
We GRANT the motions and set aside the trial court’s judgment without regard to
the merits and REMAND this case to the trial court for rendition of judgment in accordance
with the agreement. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2)(B). Costs will be taxed against
appellants. See id. R. 42.1(d) ("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs
against the appellant."). All other pending motions are DISMISSED as moot.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
5th day of November, 2015.
