NUMBER 13-21-00046-CV COURT OF APPEALS THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG JUAN ANTONIO RODRIGUEZ, AS DEPENDENT ADMINISTRATOR OF THE ESTATE OF JOSE M. RODRIGUEZ, Appellant, v. CELIA ORTEGA AND ANGEL ORTEGA, Appellees. On appeal from the 404th District Court of Cameron County, Texas. MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Benavides, Hinojosa, and Silva Memorandum Opinion by Justice Benavides Appellant Juan Antonio Rodriguez as dependent administrator of the estate of Jose M. Rodriguez appealed a judgment rendered on October 27, 2020 in trial court cause number 2019-DCL-01320 in the 404th District Court of Cameron County, Texas. The appellant has now filed an amended motion to dismiss this appeal on grounds that “the parties have resolved their differences and this appeal is no longer necessary.” Appellees Celia Ortega and Angel Ortega do not oppose the relief sought in the amended motion to dismiss the appeal. The Court, having examined and fully considered the appellant’s amended motion to dismiss, is of the opinion that it should be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1) (allowing the court to “dismiss the appeal or affirm the appealed judgment or order unless such disposition would prevent a party from seeking relief to which it would otherwise be entitled”). Accordingly, we grant the amended motion to dismiss and we dismiss the appeal. Costs will be taxed against the appellant. See id. R. 42.1(d) (“Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant.”). Having dismissed the appeal at the appellant’s request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith. GINA M. BENAVIDES Justice Delivered and filed on the 1st day of April, 2021. 2
