Union Pacific Railroad Company v. Christopher Andrade

Opinion

Opinion issued February 25, 2025

In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-24-00116-CV ——————————— UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY, Appellant V. CHRISTOPHER ANDRADE, Appellee

On Appeal from the 129th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2023-19781

MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellee Christopher Andrade has filed an unopposed motion to dismiss this appeal from the trial court’s interlocutory order denying Appellant Union Pacific Railroad Company’s special appearance. Andrade asserts that the appeal is moot because he has nonsuited his claims against Union Pacific in the trial court. After due consideration, we grant the unopposed motion and dismiss the appeal for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f); see also Travelers Ins. Co. v. Joachim, 315 S.W.3d 860, 862 (Tex. 2010) (noting that a nonsuit “renders the merits of the nonsuited case moot”); Nat’l Collegiate Athletic Ass’n v. Jones, 1 S.W.3d 83, 86 (Tex. 1999) (“Appellate courts are prohibited from deciding moot controversies.”). Costs will be taxed against the party incurring same.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Rivas-Molloy, Johnson, and Dokupil.
