In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-24-00911-CV ——————————— ZHUO CHEN, LC-TX INVESTMENT, LLC, AND SL VISION, LLC, Appellants V. QIAN WU AND LENSHOME OPTIC, LLC, Appellees

On Appeal from the 270th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2018-75354

MEMORANDUM OPINION On November 19, 2024, the Harris County District Clerk forward to this Court a purported notice of appeal filed by appellants, Zhuo Chen, LC-TX Investment, LLC, and SL Vision, LLC. On December 17, 2024, appellants filed a “Notice to First Court of Appeals Regarding Appeal Status.” In appellants’ notice, they state that the document forwarded to this Court by the Harris County District Clerk was not intended as a notice of appeal and that no party had appealed the trial court’s underlying judgment. The purported notice of appeal was instead a “brief [to] the trial court discussing whether attorney fees for a potential appeal should be included in the final judgment.” Appellants further stated that the district clerk’s office “apparently concluded . . . that said brief was a notice of appeal on the issue of attorney fees. It was not.”

Accordingly, appellants requested, “[t]o the extent required,” that the Court “dismiss the appeal without prejudice to re-filing while the appeal deadline is still pending.” No other party has filed a notice of appeal, and no opinion has issued.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1), (c). Appellant’s motion includes a certificate of conference stating that appellees, Qian Wu and LensHome Optic, LLC, are not opposed to the relief requested in the motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1(a)(5), 10.3(a)(2).

Accordingly, the Court grants appellants’ request and dismisses the appeal.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1), 43.2(f). We dismiss all other pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Rivas-Molloy and Gunn.
