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

      This appeal was abated by this Court on March 14, 2014. This cause is now

before the Court on a joint motion to dismiss with prejudice on grounds the parties have

settled this matter and no longer wish to pursue this appeal. The parties request that
this Court dismiss this case with prejudice.         Accordingly, this case is hereby

REINSTATED.

      The Court, having considered the documents on file and the joint motion to dismiss

with prejudice, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P.

42.1(a). The joint motion to dismiss is GRANTED, and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED

WITH PREJUDICE. Costs will be taxed against appellant. 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 the parties request, no motion for rehearing will be

entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.



                                                PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the
31st day of July, 2014.
