Background
Quincey Paul Chavis appealed from a proceeding involving Brian Kennemer in Brazoria County Court at Law No. 4 and Probate Court, trial court cause number GN42811. The memorandum opinion does not describe the underlying dispute or the trial court’s ruling.
Chavis filed an unopposed motion to dismiss the appeal under Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.3(a)(2) and 42.1(a)(1). The court noted that no opinion had issued.
The Court’s Holding
The Texas First Court of Appeals granted Chavis’s motion and dismissed the appeal under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(1).
The court also dismissed all other pending motions in the case as moot. It did not address the merits of the underlying dispute.
Key Takeaways
- An appellant may move to dismiss an appeal under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(1).
- The court granted Chavis’s unopposed motion and dismissed this appeal.

Why It Matters
The decision ends the appellate proceeding without a ruling on the merits. Because the memorandum opinion provides no account of the underlying claims or trial court ruling, it establishes only the procedural disposition of this appeal.
