Jeffrey M. Tillotson Texas Bar No. 20039200 jtillotson@tillotsonlaw.com Amanda L. Reichek Texas Bar No. 24041762 areichek@tillotsonlaw.com Kathryn (Kassi) Yukevich Texas Bar. No. 24133390 kyukevich@tillotsonlaw.com TILLOTSON JOHNSON & PATTON 1201 Main Street, Suite 1300 Dallas, Texas 75202 Phone: (214) 382-3041 Fax: (214) 292-6564 Attorneys for Relators TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(1), Relators

Pecos Housing Finance Corporation (“Pecos HFC”), Cara Turn, Maribel

Alvarez, and Irene Dominguez (collectively, “Relators”) hereby file this

Agreed Motion to Dismiss.

By order of today’s date this Court ruled that it lacked exclusive

jurisdiction over related appeal nos. 15-25-00110-CV, 15-25-00111-CV,

and 15-25-00112-CV. While Relators respectfully disagree with this

Court’s ruling, they understand that it controls the jurisdictional

determination in this original proceeding as well. In the interest of

obtaining an expeditious ruling in this original proceeding, Relators are

refiling this matter in the 2nd Court of Appeals. Thus, this proceeding will

be duplicative of an identical proceeding pending in the 2nd Court of

Appeals. For this additional reason, Relators respectfully request that

this original proceeding be dismissed without prejudice.

Relators conferred with counsel for Real Party in Interest prior to

filing this motion. Real Party is unopposed to the requested relief.

2 For these reasons, Relators ask this Court to grant this motion to

dismiss without prejudice, with each party to bear its own costs on

appeal.

Dated: July 31, 2025 Respectfully submitted,
