First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-24-00851-CV ——————————— ANSCO & ASSOCIATES, LLC, Appellant V. CENTERPOINT ENERGY RESOURCES CORP. D/B/A CENTERPOINT ENERGY TEXAS GAS OPERATIONS, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 3 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 1205804-802

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Ansco & Associates, LLC, filed a notice of restricted appeal from

the trial court’s May 15, 2024 Final Default Judgment in favor of appellee,

Centerpoint Energy Resources Corp, doing business as Centerpoint Energy Texas

Gas Operations. On November 20, 2024, appellant filed a motion to dismiss this appeal, stating that the parties had “finalized and executed a settlement agreement

resolving their disputes, rendering further proceedings in this appeal unnecessary.”

And, as a part of their agreement, the parties agreed that appellant would file a

motion to dismiss the appeal.

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

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

conference stating that appellee is “agreed” to the relief requested in the motion. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1(a)(5), 10.3(a)(2). The motion further requests that the Court

tax appellate costs “against the parties incurring them.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d).

Accordingly, the Court grants appellant’s 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 Justices Kelly, Hightower, and Guerra.
