Memorandum Opinion by Justice Contreras
Appellant Javier R. Salinas Jr. filed a notice of appeal from a judgment rendered
on June 29, 2017 in trial court cause number 2016-FAM-5253-D in the 105th District Court
of Nueces County, Texas. This Court previously abated this appeal to enable the parties
to engage in settlement negotiations. Appellant has now filed an unopposed motion to
dismiss this appeal based on an agreement reached during mediation with appellee,
Sarah Salinas. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1) (A).
The Court, having considered the documents on file and the unopposed motion to
dismiss the appeal, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See id.
Accordingly, we REINSTATE this appeal. We GRANT the unopposed motion to dismiss
the appeal. The costs of appeal will be taxed against appellant. See id. R. 42.1(d)
(“Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant.”). We
dismiss any other pending motions as moot.
