MEMORANDUM OPINION

DAVID WELLINGTON CHEW, Chief Justice.

Pending before the Court is a joint motion to dismiss this appeal pursuant to Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(a)(2)(B). The parties represent in their motion that they have reached an agreement to settle and compromise their differences and request that this Court vacate the trial court's judgment without regard to the merits, and remand the case to the trial court for entry of an order dismissing the case with prejudice.

This Court has the authority to set aside the trial court's judgment without regard to the merits and remand the case to the trial court for rendition of judgment in accordance with the agreements. Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(a)(2)(B). Having considered the cause on the parties' motion, we conclude the motion should be granted. We hereby set aside the trial court's judgment and remand the case for entry of an order of dismissal with prejudice in accordance with the parties' agreement. As the motion does not specify that the parties have agreed otherwise, costs of appeal will be taxed against Appellant. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(d).
