TRINITY DRYWALL SYSTEMS, LLC, Appellant, v. TOKA GENERAL CONTRACTORS, LTD AND VINEYARD VILLAGE, MSV, LLC., Appellees.
Appeal from the
67th District Court
of Tarrant County, Texas
(TC# 67-240386-09)
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pursuant to TEX.R.APP.P. 42.1, Appellee, Toka General Contractors, Ltd., has moved to dismiss its cross-appeal against Appellant, Trinity Drywall Systems, LLC. Appellant does not oppose Appellee's motion. Concluding that dismissing Appellee's cross-appeal against Appellant will not prejudice Appellant, we grant the motion and dismiss the cross-appeal. See TEX.R.APP.P. 42.1(b)(the court may dispose of a severable portion of the proceeding if disposal will not prejudice the remaining parties). Because there is no agreement between the parties as to costs and Appellee is seeking relief in its role as Cross-Appellant, we assess costs against Appellee. See TEX.R.APP.P. 42.1(d)(absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant).
