OPINION Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Lang-Miers and Lewis Opinion by Chief Justice Wright Before the Court is the January 18, 2013 joint motion to set aside appealed part of

judgment pursuant to settlement. In the motion, the parties state they have settled all claims

between them. The parties also state, and our records show, that Tri-County Autoplex was a

party in the trial court, but did not perfect an appeal. We grant the parties’ joint motion, and

pursuant to the parties request, set aside without regard to the merits the portion of the judgment

that awards damages and injunctive relief against Rouse, and remand that portion of the

judgment to the trial court for rendition of judgment in accordance with the parties’ agreement. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2)(B).
