COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG
VETS SECURING AMERICA, INC., Appellant,
v.
EDWARD SMITH, Appellee.
On appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2
of Nueces County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Benavides and Longoria
Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Contreras
This is an interlocutory appeal of the trial court’s September 14, 2021 order
denying a “Motion to Reinstate Stay of Trial Proceedings.” Appellant Vets Securing
America, Inc. has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal under Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure 42.1(a). The motion states that appellee Edward Smith is unopposed to the
motion and that dismissal would not prevent appellee from seeking relief to which he
would otherwise be entitled.
This Court, having considered appellant’s unopposed motion, is of the opinion that
the motion to dismiss should be granted. Accordingly, the motion is granted and the
appeal is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). 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.”). Because the appeal is dismissed at appellant’s request, no
motion for rehearing will be entertained.
