According to the motion, the parties have settled and compromised their differences and

request that this Court dismiss the appeal.

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

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

42.1(a).   Accordingly, we REINSTATE this appeal.                The joint motion to dismiss is

GRANTED and the appeal is DISMISSED. Costs will be taxed against appellant. See

id. R. 42.1(d) ("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the

appellant."). Having dismissed the appeal at appellant’s request, no motion for rehearing

will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.
