MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant has filed in this court a motion to remand this cause to the trial court
for proceedings in accordance with the parties’ settlement agreement. A mediated
settlement agreement is attached to Appellant’s motion. In that agreement, the
parties agree to pay their own attorney’s fees and costs and agree that they will join
in an agreed dismissal of this appellate proceeding and ultimately, after all
documents are executed, a dismissal of all claims in the trial court. The parties have
indicated, in a joint response to a letter issued by this court on November 15, 2019,
that it is their preference that we dismiss this appeal and remand the cause for further
proceedings in accordance with the settlement agreement.
Accordingly, we grant the motion to remand, remand the cause for further
proceedings in accordance with the parties’ settlement agreement, and dismiss this
appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a).
