Jesse B. Johnson, III v. Antone Gest and Milam County, Texas
Jesse B. Johnson, III v. Antone Gest and Milam County, Texas
Opinion
PER CURIAM
After appellate mediation, the parties have informed this Court that they have settled all disputed issues and jointly move that the judgment of the trial court be set aside. When a cause is settled it becomes moot. See Panterra Corp. v. American Dairy Queen, 908 S.W.2d 300, 300 (Tex. App.--San Antonio 1995, no writ). When a cause become moot while on appeal, all previous orders must be set aside, and the cause dismissed. See, e.g., Speer v. Presbyterian Children's Home & Serv. Agency, 847 S.W.2d 227, 228 (Tex. 1993); Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. v. Hughes, 827 S.W.2d 859, 859 (Tex. 1992); Panterra, 908 S.W.2d at 300; Texas Educ. Agency v. Dallas Indep. Sch. Dist., 797 S.W.2d 367, 369 (Tex. App.--Austin 1990, no writ).
Accordingly, we grant the parties' joint motion and dismiss the cause.
