Connell, have filed with this Court a “Rule 42 Agreement for Reversal and Rendition of Trial Court’s Judgment.”  The parties represent to this Court that they have agreed that the trial court’s judgment should be reversed with a finding that substantial evidence supports the decision of the Texas Workforce Commission disqualifying Connell from receiving unemployment benefits and that this Court should render judgment affirming the Texas Workforce Commission’s administrative decision disqualifying Connell from receiving unemployment benefits.

            This Court, in accordance with Rule 42.1(a)(2)(A) approves the agreement of the parties.  We grant the motion and reverse the judgment of the trial court and render judgment in accord with the parties’ agreement.  Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(2)(A).
