Railroad Commission of Texas, Carole Keeton Rylander, Barry Williamson, Charles R. Mathews, City of Dallas, and Dallas Independent School District, Appellees FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 345TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 96-04353, HONORABLE JOSEPH H. HART, JUDGE PRESIDING PER CURIAM This is an interlocutory appeal from the trial-court order denying a temporary injunction to prevent the Railroad Commission of Texas from proceeding with its Gas Utilities Docket No. 8623. By its "Unopposed Motion to Dismiss as Moot," appellant has informed this Court that the parties have now settled their dispute. The Railroad Commission has dismissed Docket 8623, the subject of the request for temporary and permanent injunction and declaratory relief. Accordingly, the cause is moot. When a cause becomes moot on appeal, the appellate court must set aside all orders relating to the temporary injunction and dismiss the cause. Isuani v.
