                                   Opinion by Justice Bridges
       The parties have jointly moved to dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus advising the

Court that they have settled the case underlying the petition. We grant the motion and dismiss

the petition. See In re Kellogg Brown & Root, Inc., 166 S.W.3d 732, 737 (Tex. 2005) (orig.

proceeding) (“A case becomes moot if a controversy ceases to exist between the parties at any

stage of the legal proceedings.”); State Bar of Tex. v. Gomez, 891 S.W.2d 243, 245 (Tex. 1994)

(orig. proceeding) (controversy is justiciable if real controversy exists between parties that will

be actually resolved by judicial relief sought).
