North Texas Higher Education Authority, Inc. and Panhandle-Plains Higher Education

Authority, Inc., Appellants

v.

Murray Watson, Jr.; Pecos Higher Education Authority, Inc.; Brazos Higher Education

Authority; Texas Bond Review Board; Rick Perry; Bill Ratliff; Carol Keeton

Rylander; James E. "Pete" Laney; and Jim Buie, Appellees

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 250TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. GN000135, HONORABLE MARGARET A. COOPER, JUDGE PRESIDING

PER CURIAM

Appellants have moved to dismiss this appeal as moot. Appellees Murray Watson,

Jr., Pecos Higher Education Authority, Inc., and Brazos Higher Education Authority dispute that the

appeal is moot. However, they agree that appellants are free to dismiss the appeal under Texas Rule

of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(2) (appellant may dismiss as long as no party is prevented from

seeking any relief to which it would otherwise be entitled). The other appellees do not oppose the

motion to dismiss.

Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on whether the appeal is moot, we grant

appellant's motion as to the relief of dismissal and dismiss the appeal.

Before Chief Justice Aboussie, Justices B. A. Smith and Puryear

Dismissed on Appellant's Motion
