MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Contreras and Hinojosa Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Valdez This appeal was abated by this Court on July 27, 2017, because a petition for bill of review was set to be heard before the trial court. This cause is now before the Court on appellant’s motion to dismiss the appeal.

Accordingly, this case is hereby REINSTATED. The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant’s motion to dismiss the appeal, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a). Appellant’s motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED. Costs will be taxed against appellant. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d) ("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant."). Having dismissed the appeal at appellant’s request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith. /s/ Rogelio Valdez ROGELIO VALDEZ Chief Justice Delivered and filed the 26th day of October, 2017. 2
