MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pending before the Court is the joint motion to vacate the trial court's judgment, release the surety, and dismiss this appeal pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(1), which states:

(a) The appellate court may dispose of an appeal as follows:

(1) in accordance with an agreement signed by all parties or their attorneys and filed with the clerk . . . .

The parties have complied with the requirements of Rule 42.1(a)(1). Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(e) specifically permits this Court to vacate the trial court's judgment and dismiss a case. The Court has considered this cause on the joint motion and concludes the motion should be granted. We therefore vacate the judgment of the trial court and dismiss the appeal.

As litigation between the parties is terminated, the corporate surety American Casualty Company of Reading, Pennsylvania, is released from any further obligation or liability on the supersedeas bond filed in this case.
