Factual background
Robson challenged an order in the Travis County district court. The same order was the subject of an earlier appeal that was initially dismissed as interlocutory, but the trial court later entered a final judgment, making the order final and appealable. The earlier appeal was reinstated and resolved by a separate opinion and judgment.
Procedural history
A prior appeal challenging the same order was initially dismissed as interlocutory on August 9, 2007. After Robson obtained a final judgment on August 24, 2007, he moved to reinstate the prior appeal and separately filed the notice of appeal in this cause. The prior appeal was reinstated, and the court issued an opinion and judgment that disposed of all issues presented in this appeal.
