LARRY STANLEY AND TERRI STANLEY, Appellants
V.
JOHN MCCLANAHAN, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Court
Colorado County, Texas
Trial Court Case No. 13-5,197
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an appeal from a judgment signed July 29, 2013, granting summary
judgment in a forcible entry and detainer action, entitling appellee to possession of
the real property and recovery of damages for past due rent and attorneys’ fees.
On July 24, 2014, appellee filed his brief and offered to voluntarily remit all
damages and fees because he had sold the real property in question, rendering this
appeal moot. On August 20, 2014, the parties filed a joint motion for entry of
judgment pursuant to compromise, requesting that we render judgment effectuating
their agreement, and requesting to expedite the mandate’s issuance. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 42.1(a)(2)(A), 18.1(c). No opinion has issued.
Accordingly, we grant the motion, dismiss as moot appellants’ appeal of the
portion of the trial court’s judgment that appellee is entitled to possession of the
real property, reverse the portion of the judgment of the trial court’s judgment that
appellee is entitled to recovery of damages of $4,000.00 for past due rent and
attorneys’ fees of $3,600.00, and render judgment that appellee John McClanahan
take nothing. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2)(A), 43.2(c), (f). We dismiss any other
pending motions as moot. The Clerk is directed to issue the mandate within 10
days of the date of this opinion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 18.1(c).
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Higley, Bland, and Sharp.
