IN THE ESTATE OF JACK POLK
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, George J. Polk Jr., and Appellee, San Jacinto County, filed a joint motion informing the Court that they have reached a settlement and compromise of all their disputes arising from the underlying lawsuit. They ask this Court to render a take-nothing judgment against both Polk and the County on all of their respective claims against each other and dismiss this appeal, and they agree any costs of the appeal are to be borne by the party incurring them. We grant the parties' motion, vacate the trial court's judgment without reference to the merits, render judgment that George J. Polk Jr. take nothing of his claims against San Jacinto County and that San Jacinto County take nothing by its claims against George J. Polk Jr., and order that each party bear its own costs of court. See Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, L.L.P. v. Nat'l Dev. and Research Corp., 313 S.W.3d 467, 468 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2010, no pet.) (rendering take-nothing judgment in accordance with parties' agreement); see also Tex.R.App. P. 42.1(a)(2)(A).
VACATED AND RENDERED.
