PER CURIAM

 

Sitting:            Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice

Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice

Rebecca Simmons, Justice

 

Delivered and Filed:   September 14, 2005


DISMISSED AS MOOT


            This is an appeal from an order obtained by appellee granting a temporary injunction. On July 25, 2005, appellee filed a copy of its Notice of Nonsuit and the Order Granting Motion for Nonsuit Without Prejudice signed by the trial court on July 25, 2005. Because it appeared this appeal may now be moot, appellant was ordered to either (1) show cause in writing why this appeal should not be dismissed as moot, or (2) file a motion to dismiss in compliance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42. On August 23, 2005, appellant filed a response, in which he asserted the appeal is not moot. We disagree.

            An appellee has the right to nonsuit its claims against appellant. See General Land Office of State of Tex. v. OXY U.S.A., Inc., 789 S.W.2d 569, 570 (Tex. 1990); Oryx Capital Intl, Inc. v. Sage Apts., L.L.C., NO. 04-04-00879-CV, 2005 WL 1159417 (Tex. App.—San Antonio May 18, 2005, no pet.). Ordinarily, the trial court’s dismissal of the underlying lawsuit dissolves a temporary injunction, rendering an appeal moot. See General Land Office, 789 S.W.2d at 571. We, therefore, conclude appellant is not entitled to the requested relief. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed as moot. General Land Office, 789 S.W.2d at 571.
