CITY OF BEAUMONT, Appellant v. CLIFFORD TEASLEY, Appellee

HOLLIS HORTON

On Appeal from the 58th District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. A-182,498

MEMORANDUM OPINION

The City of Beaumont filed a motion to vacate the trial court's judgment and render a take-nothing judgment in accordance with the written settlement agreement of the parties. The appellant has produced a written settlement agreement that includes a statement that "Clifford Teasley agrees that a take-nothing final judgment or dismissal with prejudice at the election of the City of Beaumont, Texas, may be entered in said suit." The appellee, Clifford Teasley, has not shown grounds for refusing to enforce the settlement agreement. Accordingly, the City's motion is granted.

We reverse the trial court's judgment without reference to the merits and render a take-nothing judgment. Costs are assessed against the incurring party.

REVERSED AND RENDERED.
