MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Hinojosa, Yañez, and Garza
Opinion Per Curiam

         Appellants, HARLINGEN VALLEY COMPRESS CO., ET AL., perfected an appeal
from a judgment entered by the 404th District Court of Cameron County, Texas, in
cause number 2000-07-3103-G.   After the record and briefs were filed and after the
cause was set for submission and oral argument, the parties filed a joint motion to
reverse and remand without reference to the merits and in aid of settlement.  In the
motion, the parties state that they have reached a compromise settlement agreement
in this matter.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the parties request that the
judgment be vacated without reference to the merits, the surety released, and the case
remanded to the trial court for entry of an agreed order of dismissal with prejudice,
with costs taxed to the party incurring same.
         The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file and  the
parties’ joint motion, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted.  The joint
motion is granted, and the judgment of the trial court is hereby REVERSED and the
cause is REMANDED to the trial court in accordance with the parties’ settlement
agreement.   It is further ordered that appellants’ sureties be released from their bonds. 
                                                      PER CURIAM
Opinion delivered and filed this
the 1st day of April, 2004.
