First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-24-00143-CV ——————————— ZACHARY T. DIXON, AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT FOR KARIN DIXON, Appellant V. GEORGE SCHILTER, INDEPENDENT EXECUTOR OF THE ESTATE OF KATHRIN GVADIA, DECEASED AND SHINERS HOSPITALS FOR CHILDREN, Appellees

On Appeal from the Probate Court Galveston County, Texas Trial Court Case No. PR-0080172

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Zachary T. Dixon, as Attorney-in-Fact for Karin Dixon, filed a

notice of appeal from the trial court’s February 8, 2024 order granting the amended motion for summary judgment of appellees, George Schilter, Independent Executor

of the Estate of Kathrin Gvadia, Deceased and Shiners Hospitals for Children. On

the motion of appellant, this appeal was abated on August 6, 2024 because the parties

had “reached an agreement to settle this matter,” but needed additional time to

“allow the parties to finalize their settlement.”

On October 28, 2025, appellant filed a motion to dismiss the appeal “pursuant

to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(1).” See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1)

(permitting voluntary dismissal of appeal on motion of appellant).

No other party has filed a notice of appeal, and no opinion has issued. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1), (c). Appellant’s motion included a certificate of

conference stating appellees are unopposed to the relief requested in the motion. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1(a)(5), 10.3(a).

Accordingly, the Court grants appellant’s motion, reinstates the appeal to the

Court’s active docket, and dismisses the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1),

43.2(f). We dismiss all other pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Rivas-Molloy, Gunn, and Caughey.
