Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-20-00577-CV
Clarissa Nicole LOPEZ,
Appellant
v.
Alberto Luis CAVAZOS,
Appellee
From the County Court, Jim Wells County, Texas
Trial Court No. 20-02-60230-CV
Honorable Michael Ventura Garcia, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena Chapa, Justice
Delivered and Filed: February 3, 2021
REVERSED AND REMANDED
On January 8, 2021, the parties filed a joint motion stating they have reached an agreement
to dispose of this appeal. The parties ask this court to vacate the trial court’s May 26, 2020
judgment without regard to the merits and remand the case to the trial court. However, Texas Rule
of Appellate Procedure 43.2 does not authorize us to “vacate and remand.” See TEX. R. APP. P.
43.2. We therefore construe the joint motion as a motion to reverse the judgment and remand the
case to the trial court for further proceedings.
04-20-00577-CV
We grant the motion, reverse the trial court’s May 26, 2020 judgment without regard to the
merits, and remand the case to the trial court for further proceedings. Costs are taxed against
appellant. See id. R. 42.1(d) (absent agreement of parties, costs are taxed against appellant).
