Jeffrey M. Tillotson Texas Bar No. 20039200 [email protected] Amanda L. Reichek Texas Bar No. 24041762 [email protected] Kathryn (Kassi) Yukevich Texas Bar. No. 24133390 [email protected] TILLOTSON JOHNSON & PATTON 1201 Main Street, Suite 1300 Dallas, Texas 75202 Phone: (214) 382-3041 Fax: (214) 292-6564 Attorneys for Relators TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS: Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(1), Relators Pecos Housing Finance Corporation (“Pecos HFC”), Cara Turn, Maribel Alvarez, Irene Dominguez, Teresa Winkles, Conrad Saldana, Hector Carrasco, Randy Graham, Arthur Orona, and Valerie Trujillo (collectively, “Relators”) hereby file this Agreed Motion to Dismiss.
By order of today’s date this Court ruled that it lacked exclusive jurisdiction over related appeal nos. 15-25-00110-CV, 15-25-00111-CV, and 15-25-00112-CV. While Relators respectfully disagree with this Court’s ruling, they understand that it controls the jurisdictional determination in this original proceeding as well. In the interest of obtaining an expeditious ruling in this original proceeding, Relators are refiling this matter in the 2nd Court of Appeals. Thus, this proceeding will be duplicative of an identical proceeding pending in the 2nd Court of Appeals. For this additional reason, Relators respectfully request that this original proceeding be dismissed without prejudice.
Relators conferred with counsel for Real Parties in Interest prior to filing this motion. Real Parties are unopposed to the requested relief.
For these reasons, Relators ask this Court to grant this motion to dismiss without prejudice, with each party to bear its own costs on appeal.
