of Cameron County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Longoria
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
This appeal was abated by this Court on June 25, 2012, due to the bankruptcy of one of the parties to this appeal. See 11 U.S.C. § 362; see generally TEX. R. APP. P. 8. This cause is now before the Court on the parties' joint motion to dismiss appeal on grounds that the parties have settled and compromised their differences. The parties request that this Court dismiss the appeal. Accordingly, this case is hereby REINSTATED.
The Court, having considered the documents on file and the parties' joint motion to dismiss, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a). The parties' joint motion to dismiss is GRANTED, and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED. In accordance with the agreement of the parties, costs are taxed against the party incurring same. 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 the parties' request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.
