Appellants' motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED. Costs will be taxed against appellants. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d) ("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant."). Having dismissed the appeal at appellants' request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.
