PER CURIAM

Sitting: Catherine Stone, Justice

Paul W. Green, Justice

Sarah B. Duncan, Justice

Delivered and Filed: February 16, 2000

DISMISSED

The parties have filed a joint motion to dismiss this appeal, stating that they have fully compromised and settled all issues in dispute. The motion is granted. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(1). Because the cause is moot, all previous orders and judgments, both trial and appellate, are set aside and the cause is dismissed. See Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. v. Hughes, 827 S.W.2d 859, 859 (Tex. 1992); Exxon Corp. v. Butler, 619 S.W.2d 399, 399 (Tex. 1981); Freeman v. Burrows, 141 Tex. 318, 171 S.W.2d 863, 863-64 (1943); Panterra v. American Dairy Queen, 908 S.W.2d 300, 301 (Tex. App.--San Antonio 1995, no writ). Costs of appeal are taxed against the parties who incurred them.
