COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS EL PASO, TEXAS ————————————
No. 08-25-00214-CV
————————————
EMJ Corporation n/k/a EMJ Construction, LLC and Western Surety Company, Appellant
v.
EPT Montecillo Town Center Apartments, LLC, Hardy Hole Drilling, LLC, VEMAC, LLC f/k/a Villegas Engineering Management and Construction, Inc. and ZTEX Construction, Inc., Appellees
On Appeal from the 171st District Court El Paso County, Texas Trial Court No. 2022DCV2108
M E MO RA N D UM O PI NI O N
Before the Court is Appellant, Western Surety Company, and Appellees’ amended joint
motion to dismiss Western Surety Company from the appeal. The motion, which is signed by the
attorneys for Western Surety Company and all Appellees, states that Western Surety Company and Appellees have settled their dispute and ask that this Court dismiss Western Surety Company from
the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(2)(A)–(C) (authorizing an appellate court—in accordance
with an agreement signed by the parties—to render judgment, set aside a judgment and remand for
further proceedings, or abate the appeal to permit proceedings in the trial court).
Appellant EMJ Corporation n/k/a EMJ Construction, LLC’s appeal remains. Rule
42.1(a)(2) does not authorize dismissal by agreement. Therefore, we construe the joint motion as
a voluntary motion to dismiss pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(1). Tex. R.
App. P. 42.1(a)(1) (authorizing dismissal on the motion of an appellant). As construed, the motion
is GRANTED. Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(b) (allowing partial disposition that will not prejudice
remaining parties). We dismiss Western Surety Company from this appeal. Costs are taxed against
the party incurring the same, pursuant to the joint motion. Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(d).
MARIA SALAS MENDOZA, Chief Justice
