MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Molberg, Reichek, and Nowell
Opinion by Justice Nowell
This is an appeal from the trial court's June 25, 2020 Order Granting Temporary Injunction. By notice filed on January 8, 2021, appellants informed the Court that the trial court entered an Order Granting Defendants' Emergency Motion to Reconsider Temporary Injunction and Dissolving Temporary Injunction on January 4, 2021. A copy of the trial court's January 4, 2021 order has been provided to this Court. The order states in part: "the Order Granting Temporary Injunction dated June 25, 2020 in this case is dissolved in full, without any exception or reservation, and is void ab initio." Appellants pray the case be dismissed for mootness.
An appeal from a temporary injunction order is rendered moot and must be dismissed if the injunction is dissolved. See Star Med. Ctr., LLC v. Tritin Med. Distribution, LLC, No. 05-20-00345-CV, 2020 WL 3071709, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas June 10, 2020, no pet.) (mem. op.) (citing State v. Ruiz Wholesale Co., 901 S.W.2d 772, 775, 778 (Tex. App.—Austin 1995, no writ)).
The trial court's January 4, 2021 order dissolved the temporary injunction that is the subject of this appeal and moots the appeal. Accordingly, we grant the motion to dismiss and dismiss the appeal.
