In the
Court of Appeals

No. 06-26-00039-CV

ELIAS BASSILE D/B/A LLF LAND COMPANY, Appellant

V.

BROWDER MEDIA LLC D/B/A SWIFT OUTDOOR ADVERTISING CO.
D/B/A SWIFT SIGNS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 414th District Court
McLennan County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2026-56-5

Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice van Cleef
MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Elias Bassile d/b/a LLF Land Company, filed a notice of appeal from the trial

court’s temporary injunction signed on March 2, 2026.1 While this appeal was pending, the trial

court entered a final judgment, granting a permanent injunction and dissolving the temporary

injunction. Under Rule 42.3(a) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, “on any party’s

motion—or on its own initiative,” this Court may dismiss an appeal “for want of jurisdiction.”

TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a). If a case becomes moot, the Court must dismiss the case for want of

jurisdiction. Heckman v. Williamson Cnty., 369 S.W.3d 137, 162 (Tex. 2012).

When the trial court renders and signs a final judgment in a case while an appeal of its

temporary injunction order is pending, the case on appeal becomes moot. Isuani v. Manske-

Sheffield Radiology Grp., P.A., 802 S.W.2d 235, 236 (Tex. 1991) (per curiam). We therefore

dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(f).
