Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.

Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant, Ted Eugene Slanker, Jr., has filed with this Court an agreed motion to set aside the trial court’s judgment and remand the case to the trial court. The parties represent to this Court that they have reached a full and final settlement and ask us to remand the case to the county court at law for approval of the settlement. In such a case, no real controversy exists, and in the absence of a controversy, the appeal is moot.

We grant the motion. We set aside without regard to the merits the judgment of the trial court and remand the case to the trial court for rendition of judgment in accordance with the agreement. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2)(B). Unless otherwise agreed by the parties pursuant to their agreement, costs on appeal are divided equally between the parties.

The appeal is dismissed.
