North Texas Higher Education Authority, Inc. and Panhandle-Plains Higher Education Authority, Inc., Appellants

Appellants have moved to dismiss this appeal as moot. Appellees Murray Watson, Jr., Pecos Higher Education Authority, Inc., and Brazos Higher Education Authority dispute that the appeal is moot. However, they agree that appellants are free to dismiss the appeal under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(2) (appellant may dismiss as long as no party is prevented from seeking any relief to which it would otherwise be entitled). The other appellees do not oppose the motion to dismiss.

Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on whether the appeal is moot, we grant appellant's motion as to the relief of dismissal and dismiss the appeal.
