ASHLEY BAKER, Appellant V. CHRISTOPHER BECK AND BAKER & BECK, PLLC, Appellees

On Appeal from the 151st District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2023-72190

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Ashley Baker filed a notice of appeal challenging the trial court’s

order signed on August 18, 2025. Although the August 18 order stated that the trial

court “will vacate the Final Judgment signed on July 2, 2025,” the language

vacating the judgment was crossed out, making it unclear whether the trial court intended to vacate the judgment. As a result, on February 10, 2026, we abated the

appeal and remanded to the trial court for clarification.

On March 26, 2026, appellant filed an unopposed motion to dismiss the

appeal asserting that the trial court held a hearing on March 25, 2026, and signed

an amended order that clarified that the July 2 final judgment was vacated.

Appellant requested that we dismiss the appeal as “there is no final judgment to

appeal.”

We reinstate and grant Appellant’s motion to dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 42.1(a)(1), 43.2(f). We dismiss all other pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Rivas-Molloy, Johnson, and Dokupil.
