ORDER OF ABATEMENT
PER CURIAM.
This cause is before the Court on the parties' "Joint Motion to Abate Appeal Pending Settlement." The parties represent that they have agreed to resolve the claims between them and require time to consummate the settlement agreement. The parties ask this Court to abate the appeal for ninety days to allow the parties to finalize the settlement. The Court, having reviewed the joint motion and the record, is of the opinion that the joint motion is meritorious and should be granted. Accordingly, the joint motion is granted and the appeal is abated until Monday, February 24, 2025, to permit proceedings in the trial court to effectuate the parties' settlement agreement. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(2)(C).
The Court directs one or both parties to file, on or before Monday, February 24, 2025, either (1) a motion to reinstate the appeal, or (2) a motion to dismiss the appeal pursuant to settlement.
