Appellants, Texas Farmers Insurance Company and Farmers Insurance Exchange, perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the 105th District Court of Nueces County, Texas, in cause number 09-6360-D.

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellants' motion to dismiss the appeal, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a). Appellants' motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED. Costs will be taxed against appellants. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d) ("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant."). Having dismissed the appeal at appellants' request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.
