The parties ask us to render a judgment affirming in part and setting aside in part.  We cannot do both.  Rule 42.1(a)(2) permits us only to either render judgment effectuating the parties’ agreements or set aside the trial court’s judgment and remand the case to the trial court for rendition of judgment in accordance with the agreement.   See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(2)(A), (B); Cunningham v. Cunningham , 2-08-362-CV, 2008 WL 5479677, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Oct. 30, 2008, no pet.) (memo op.).
