In The

Court of Appeals For The

First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-24-00661-CV ——————————— STYLED REAL ESTATE, LLC AND MICHELLE "SHELLY" SCANLIN, Appellants V. SAVANNAH LACEY MANHOLD, SARAH CRUSE, AND LAUREN PRICE LAROCHE, AND CHANCE BROWN REAL ESTATE, LLC, Appellees

On Appeal from the 215th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2021-03329

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellants, Styled Real Estate LLC and Michelle Scanlin, filed a notice of

appeal seeking to appeal an interlocutory order awarding attorney’s fees and

requiring satisfaction of the award prior to entry of final judgment. On April 13, 2025, the successor trial court judge granted reconsideration and vacated the August

9, 2024 order “in its entirety, subject to further order of this Court.” See TEX. R. APP.

P. 29.5 (“While an appeal from an interlocutory order is pending, the trial court

retains jurisdiction of the case and unless prohibited by statute may make further

orders, including one dissolving the order complained of on appeal.”). Appellants

subsequently filed a written notice advising our Court of the successor trial court

judge’s order and requesting that our Court “render any order or judgment that it

determines is required or proper under the circumstances, both in this cause and in

the related mandamus proceeding.”

Accordingly, because the challenged order has been vacated, we dismiss the

appeal as moot. See Alorica and Alorica, Inc. v. Jasso, No. 08-18-00158-CV, 2018

WL 6191488, at *1 (Tex. App.—El Paso Nov. 28, 2018, no pet.) (mem. op.)

(dismissing appeal from interlocutory order as moot where trial court vacated

interlocutory order while appeal was pending). We further dismiss any pending

motions as moot.

Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Caughey and Johnson.
