                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                          Before Justices Bridges, Fillmore, and Lewis
                                   Opinion by Justice Lewis
       On July 24, 2013, the trial court granted its Amended Temporary Injunction at the request

of appellee Houillion Family Limited Partnership. Appellants John C. Golfis, Julie Nguyen,

Seiklos Holdings, LLC, and Seikilos FX Studios LLC filed this interlocutory appeal challenging

the temporary injunction. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014(a)(4). While the

interlocutory appeal was pending, the trial court proceeded to trial and entered a final judgment.

       If, while on the appeal of the granting or denying of the temporary injunction, the trial

court renders final judgment, the case on appeal becomes moot. Isuani v. Manske-Sheffield

Radiology Group, P.A., 802 S.W.2d 235, 236 (Tex. 1991). When a case becomes moot on

appeal, the appeal is dismissed. Id.
      Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as moot.
