                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
         Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Perkes
                     Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Appellants, Texas Farmers Insurance Company and Farmers Insurance

Exchange, perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the 105th District Court of

Nueces County, Texas, in cause number 09-6360-D. Appellants have filed a motion to
dismiss the appeal on grounds that the order upon which this appellate proceeding is

based has now been vacated, rendering this appeal moot. Appellants request that this

Court dismiss the appeal in its entirety as moot.

      The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellants’ motion to

dismiss the appeal, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 42.1(a).   Appellants’ motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is hereby

DISMISSED.     Costs will be taxed against appellants.     See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d)

("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant.").

Having dismissed the appeal at appellants’ request, no motion for rehearing will be

entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.

                                                PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the
15th day of January, 2015.
