MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pending before the Court is the joint motion of Appellant, Joseph Bender, and Appellees, T.M.

We grant the motion and dismiss the appeal. The motion does not reflect that the parties have reached an agreement regarding the payment of costs. Accordingly, costs are taxed against Appellant. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(d)(absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant).
