On July 9, 2019, we granted the unopposed motion to abate filed by appellees, David Alleman and Alleman Consulting LLC, and abated this appeal “pending a trial court determination as to whether the case ha[d] been rendered moot by a binding compromise settlement agreement.” (Internal quotations omitted.) On January 26, 2023, appellant, Tetra Technologies, Inc., filed an unopposed motion to dismiss, requesting that this Court dismiss the appeal and “discharge[] and release[]” Argonaut Insurance Company as surety. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a). The motion also requested that the parties bear their own appellate costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d). No opinion has issued.

Accordingly, we reinstate the appeal on the Court’s active docket. The motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a), 43.2(e). We order that Argonaut Insurance Company is discharged and released as surety. We direct the Clerk of this Court that costs are to be taxed against the parties who incurred the same. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d). We dismiss any other pending motions as moot.
