In The

First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-24-00345-CV ——————————— TRI-STAR PETROLEUM COMPANY, Appellant V. SANTOS TOGA PTY LTD., SANTOS TPY CORP., SANTOS TOG CORP., SANTOS TPY CSG CORP., AND SANTOS QUEENSLAND CORP., Appellees

On Appeal from the 190th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2022-05624

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant/Cross-Appellee Tri-Star Petroleum Company and

Appellees/Cross-Appellants Santos TOGA Pty Ltd., Santos TPY Corp., Santos TOG

Corp., Santos TPY CSG Corp., and Santos Queensland Corp. have filed a Stipulation of Mootness and Joint Agreed Motion to Dismiss Appeal and Cross-Appeal. In their

joint motion, the parties stipulate that they have entered into a settlement agreement

that mutually releases the parties from “any and all liabilities, claims, and

judgments” arising out of the arbitration award that was confirmed by the trial court

on April 5, 2024, and which is the subject of this appeal and cross-appeal.

The joint motion requests that we dismiss the appeal and cross-appeal and

order each party to bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees—as the parties have agreed.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2)(A), (d). No opinion has issued. See id. 42.1(c). The

joint motion is signed by counsel for appellant/cross-appellee and appellees/cross-

appellants, and the certificate of conference states that the parties have conferred and

file the motion as an agreed motion. See id. 10.1(a)(5).

Accordingly, we grant the Joint Agreed Motion to Dismiss Appeal and Cross-

Appeal, dismiss this appeal and cross-appeal in all things, and order each party to

bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs, as agreed upon by the parties. See id.

10.3(a)(2), 42.1(a)(2)(A), (d), 43.2(f). We further dismiss all other pending motions

as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Guerra and Guiney.
