Pending
before the Court is a joint motion to vacate and render a judgment of dismissal
with prejudice.  The parties have filed
this motion pursuant to Tex.R.App.P.
42.1, which states that:
(a) The appellate
court may dispose of an appeal as follows:
 
(1)  in accordance with an agreement signed by all
parties or their attorneys and filed with the clerk; or
 
(2)  in accordance with a motion of appellant to
dismiss the appeal or affirm the appealed judgment or order; but no party may
be prevented from seeking any relief to which it would otherwise be entitled.
 




The
parties have settled all matters in controversy.  By their motion, the parties have agreed that
the underlying judgment should be vacated and a judgment of dismissal with
prejudice should be rendered.  Pursuant
to Rule 42.1(a)(1), we grant the joint motion, vacate the trial court=s judgment, and render a judgment of
dismissal with prejudice.  Further, in
accordance with the agreement, each party is ordered to bear its own costs in
the trial court and in this Court.
