NUMBER 13-09-00293-CV
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Yañez and Benavides
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam (1)
Relator, Texas Association of School Boards, Inc., filed a petition for writ of mandamus in the above cause on June 1, 2009. The Court requested and received a response to the petition for writ of mandamus from the real party in interest, and further received a reply brief filed by relator. Relator has now filed an unopposed motion to dismiss this original proceeding on grounds that the parties have settled and compromised their dispute. Relator thus asks this Court to dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus as moot.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the unopposed motion to dismiss, is of the opinion that relator has shown itself entitled to the relief sought. Accordingly, the unopposed motion to dismiss is GRANTED and the petition for writ of mandamus is hereby DISMISSED as moot. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
