TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-16-00352-CV
ARGONAUT INSURANCE COMPANY,
AND TRIDENT INSURANCE SERVICES, LLC,
Appellants
v.
WEST INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT,
Appellee
From the 170th District Court
McLennan County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2014-1985-4
ABATEMENT ORDER
On October 26, 2016, appellants, Argonaut Insurance Company, Trident Insurance
Services, L.L.C., and the Texas Association of Public Educators, filed their notice of
interlocutory appeal in this matter. The following day, appellee, West Independent
School District, filed a motion to dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction and a request
for an expedited ruling. Approximately a week later, appellee informed this Court that
the parties had reached a settlement and would be “forwarding copies of the settlement
documents shortly.” Thereafter, on November 4, 2016, appellants filed an unopposed
motion to abate this appeal to allow the parties to finalize their settlement agreement.
Appellants specifically mentioned that the granting of this motion “would almost
certainly lead to the end of this case.” After review, we grant appellants’ unopposed
motion to abate. Accordingly, this appeal is hereby abated until further order from this
Court.
