while it still had plenary jurisdiction over the case. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 329b(e).

On February 4, 2014, we informed the parties that it appeared the trial

court’s granting of the motion for new trial rendered this appeal moot and that the

appeal would be dismissed as moot unless, on or before February 14, 2014, any

Therefore, on this court’s own motion, we dismiss the appeal as moot.
