WHITE and Diamond A Ranch, Appellees From the 38th Judicial District Court, Real County, Texas Trial Court No. 2007 2704-DC Honorable Camile G. DuBose, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice Rebecca Simmons, Justice Delivered and Filed: January 20, 2010 DISMISSED AS MOOT Appellant appeals from the trial court s July 24, 2009, denial of his Motion to Dissolve Temporary Injunction. The trial court later signed a permanent injunction, and on October 2, 2009, signed a final judgment in the underlying suit.1 Accordingly, this court ordered appellant to show ¦ On October 9, 2009, appellant filed a notice of appeal from the Judge Order entering Judgment Against Defendant for Defamation and the Permanent Injunction. That appeal is pending before this court in appellate cause number 04-09-00695-CV. 1 04-09-00503-CV cause why the appeal of his Motion to Dissolve Temporary Injunction should not be dismissed as moot. Appellant responded that the appeal is not moot. According to appellant, the motion for a permanent injunction filed by the plaintiffs below was not based upon the merits of the plaintiffs pleadings, but was instead based on the issuance of the temporary injunction; therefore, the only issue in this appeal is whether the temporary injunction was valid prior to becoming a permanent injunction. Appellant s argument does not support the continued viability of this appeal. An appeal arising from a temporary injunction becomes moot once the trial court signs a final judgment. See Isuani v. Manske-Sheffield Radiology Group, P.A., 802 S.W.2d 235, 236 (Tex. 1991); Lowe v. Farm Credit Bank of Tex., 2 S.W.3d 293, 300 (Tex. App. San Antonio 1999, pet. denied). Therefore, this appeal is dismissed as moot. All other pending motions in this appeal are also dismissed as moot. PER CURIAM -2-
