Opinion

COURT OF APPEALS

EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

EL PASO, TEXAS

Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1 provides the actions a court may take to dispose

of an appeal on the motion of the appellant or by agreement of the parties. On the motion of the

appellant, a court may dismiss the appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(1). When parties file an

agreement signed by all parties or their attorneys, the court may: “(A) render judgment effectuating

the parties’ agreement; (B) set aside the trial court's judgment without regard to the merits and

remand the case to the trial court for rendition of judgment in accordance with the agreement; or

(C) abate the appeal and permit proceedings in the trial court to effectuate the agreement.” Tex. R.

App. P. 42.1(a)(2)(A)–(C).

The parties have not filed a settlement agreement with the clerk as required by Rule

42.1(a)(2). Instead, based on the substance of the motion and the relief requested, we invoke Rule

42.1(a)(1) to dismiss the appeal on the motion of Appellant. The motion to dismiss the appeal is

granted. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(1) (allowing appellate courts to dismiss an appeal on the

motion of the appellant).
