Kristi Ellis, Individually and as Next Friend of A.D., a Minor Child, Appellant v. Gateway Church, Appellee
On Appeal from the 348th District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 348-318681-20
Before Kerr, Birdwell, and Bassel, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT
Elizabeth Kerr Justice
We have considered the parties' "Joint Motion to Dispose of Appeal." In their joint motion, the parties represent that they have executed a full and final compromise settlement agreement and release of all claims. In furtherance of that agreement, the parties ask us to render judgment affirming the trial court's January 5, 2023 final judgment in part and reversing it and remanding it in part in order to effectuate the agreement's terms. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(a)(2)(A)-(B). We grant the parties' motion.
The parties did not file a copy of the parties' settlement agreement with this court. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(a)(2).
In accordance with the parties' requested relief in their joint motion, we reverse the trial court's final judgment as to Kristi Ellis's claims raised on behalf of A.D., a minor child, and we remand those claims to the trial court so that a guardian ad litem can be appointed to review the settlement agreement and provide the trial court with a report so that the settlement agreement can be approved and this case can be finally disposed. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(a)(2)(B), 43.2(d). We affirm the rest of the trial court's final judgment. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(a)(2)(A), 43.2(a).
Appellant must pay all costs of this appeal. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(d), 43.4.
