MEMORANDUM OPINION
Paragon Cable-Laredo ("PCL") filed a motion to dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction because there is no longer an issue in controversy to appeal. Accompanying PCL's motion is a release and satisfaction of judgment, which shows that the judgment being appealed has been fully paid and satisfied. Because there is no longer a controversy between the parties, we no longer have jurisdiction over the appeal. See Rapp v. Mandell Wright, P.C., 123 S.W.3d 431, 436 (Tex. App.-04-04-00323-CV
Houston [14 Dist.] 2003, pet. denied) (dismissing appeal for lack of jurisdiction based on mootness upon proof that the judgment being appealed had been fully paid, released, and satisfied). Accordingly, PCL's motion to dismiss is granted and the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.3. Appellate costs are assessed against the appellant.
