First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-25-00324-CV ——————————— ALLIANCE OFFSHORE, LLC AND ALLIANCE ENERGY SERVICES, LLC, Appellants V. STANLEY VERRETT, Appellee

On Appeal from the 189th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2024-05889

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellants, Alliance Offshore, LLC and Alliance Energy Services, LLC, filed

a notice of interlocutory appeal from the trial court’s April 15, 2025 order denying

their amended special appearance, filed in the underlying cause initiated by appellee, Stanley Verrett. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014(a)(7); TEX. R.

APP. P. 28.1(a). On December 19, 2025, appellants filed a “Motion for Voluntary

Dismissal.” In the motion, appellants stated that appellee nonsuited his claims

against appellants in the underlying cause. Appellants, therefore, moved to

voluntarily dismiss their appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). The motion further

requested that the parties bear their own costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d).

No other party has filed a notice of appeal, and no opinion has issued. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1), (c). Appellants’ motion includes a certificate of

conference stating that appellee is unopposed to the relief requested in the motion.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1(a)(5), 10.3(a)(2).

Accordingly, the Court grants appellants’ motion and dismisses the appeal.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1), 43.2(f). We further direct the Clerk of this Court that

costs are to be taxed against the party incurring the same. See TEX. R. APP. P.

42.1(d). We dismiss all other pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Gunn and Johnson.
