MEMORANDUM OPINION.
This is an appeal from a temporary injunction entered on June 28, 2002. In the temporary injunction, the trial court set the cause for trial on December 16, 2002. On December 20, 2002, the trial court issued a permanent injunction in this cause.
If, while on the appeal of the granting or denying of the temporary injunction, the trial court renders final judgment, the case on appeal becomes moot. Isuani v. Manske-Sheffield Radiology Group, P.A., 802 S.W.2d 235, 236 (Tex. 1991). When a case becomes moot on appeal, all previous orders pertaining to the temporary injunction are set aside by the appellate court and the case is dismissed. Id.
Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed as moot.
