FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF COMAL COUNTY, 274TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 2014-1337C, HONORABLE JACK H. ROBISON, JUDGE PRESIDINGMEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant M.M. has filed an unopposed motion to dismiss this appeal, explaining that the trial court has now vacated the final judgment that is the subject of this appeal and that, as a result, this appeal has become moot.See In re Kellogg Brown & Root, Inc., 166 S.W.3d 732, 737 (Tex. 2005) (noting that case becomes moot if controversy ceases to exists between parties "at any stage of the legal proceedings"). Based on our review of the record, we conclude that the appeal has become moot. We grant the motion and dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
Co-appellant L.E., who is represented by different counsel, seeks to appeal from the same final judgment. L.E. has not responded to M.M.'s motion to dismiss or to our request to explain why this Court has jurisdiction to consider her appeal. --------
