NUMBER 13-20-00303-CV COURT OF APPEALS THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG ____________________________________________________________ THE CITY OF ARANSAS PASS, TEXAS, Appellant, v. ASSOCIATION AGAINST ANNEXATION ABUSE, Appellee. ____________________________________________________________ On appeal from the 156th District Court of Aransas County, Texas. ____________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Benavides and Tijerina Memorandum Opinion by Justice Benavides This matter is before the Court on appellant’s unopposed motion to dismiss. On November 6, 2020, this cause was abated for an ongoing and related quo warranto proceeding in Cause No. A-19-0368-CV-C. The judgment in the quo warranto proceeding was entered, and appellant requests the dismissal of the appeal because all issues were rendered moot by that judgment. The Court, having considered the motion, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). Therefore, the case is reinstated, the motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is hereby dismissed. Costs will be taxed against the appellant. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d) ("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant."). Because the appeal is dismissed at appellant’s request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained. GINA M. BENAVIDES Justice Delivered and filed on the 24th day of March, 2022. 2
