On the Court's own motion, we withdraw our opinion and vacate our judgment of July 8, 2014. This is now the opinion of the Court.
Before the Court is the parties' joint motion to vacate and render judgment pursuant to settlement. In their motion, the parties state, "all matters in controversy in this appeal have been amicably compromised and settled." The parties request that the Court "[(1)] vacate the [trial court's] judgment from which this appeal is taken, without regard to [the] merits, and [(2)] [] render judgment dismissing the cause with prejudice, with each party to bear its own costs, on the ground that all matters in controversy in this appeal have been amicably compromised and settled." Further, the parties advise, "[they] do not seek dismissal of this appeal, but instead seek vacatur of the trial court's judgment and rendition of judgment dismissing the cause."
Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(2) addresses disposition of an appeal in accordance with the parties' agreement. As requested by the parties, the Court vacates the trial court's judgment without reference to the merits and, pursuant to the parties' agreement, renders judgment dismissing the cause with prejudice. Also, as requested by the parties, we order that each party bear its own costs of the appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2)(A), 43.2(e).
