From the 361st District Court Brazos County, Texas Trial Court No. 19-002945-CV-361
Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Johnson, and Justice Rose
The Honorable Jeff Rose, Former Chief Justice of the Third Court of Appeals, sitting by assignment of the Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court. See Tex. Gov't Code §§ 74.003, 75.002, 75.003.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
TOM GRAY CHIEF JUSTICE
Sharlotte Wade Gardner appealed the trial court's Decree Ordering Partition and Appointing Commissioners. By a notice, received and filed on June 30, 2022, the Court was advised that the issues on appeal between the parties had become moot pursuant to a settlement in which the ownership of the disputed interest in real property had been conveyed to the other party.
The Court has no jurisdiction over moot issues. See e.g. Heckman v. Williamson Cty., 369 S.W.3d 137, 162 (Tex. 2012) ("If a case is or becomes moot, the court must vacate any order or judgment previously issued and dismiss the case for want of jurisdiction."). Gardner was warned by the Clerk of this Court in a letter dated July 18, 2022, that the appeal would be dismissed as moot unless, within 14 days from the date of the letter, Gardner filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal.
More than 14 days have passed, and Gardner has not responded. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
Appeal dismissed
