Appellants have filed a motion to dismiss the appeal with prejudice on grounds that the parties have reached settlement. Appellants request that this Court dismiss the appeal.

Appellants' motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED with prejudice. Costs will be taxed against appellants. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(d) ("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant."). Having dismissed the appeal at appellants' request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.
