             On appeal from the 105th District Court
                   of Nueces County, Texas.

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
  Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Contreras and Benavides
             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.

                                                      DORI CONTRERAS
                                                      JUSTICE
Delivered and filed the
11th day of January, 2018.
