MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Hinojosa, Yañez, and Garza

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

         Appellant, TEOFILO NORBERTO FLORES, perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by County Court at Law No. 3 of Cameron County, Texas, in cause number 2003-CCL-852-C. After the record was filed, appellee filed a motion to dismiss the appeal as moot. Appellee contends that this appeal is moot because appellant’s license to carry a concealed handgun expired on February 13, 2005, and there no longer exists a justiciable controversy before the Court. Appellee requests that this Court dismiss the appeal and order that the parties bear their respective costs herein.

         The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellee’s motion to dismiss the appeal, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. Appellee’s motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED AS MOOT.

                                                               PER CURIAM

Memorandum Opinion delivered and filed this

the 24^th day of March, 2005.
