Voluntary Dismissal Ends First Reported Appeal from Business Court Division 3A
The Fifteenth Court of Appeals granted an unopposed motion to dismiss the appeal in Storable, Inc. v. Safelease Insurance Services, LLC, a case originating from Business Court Division 3A in Travis County. The October 2, 2025 per curiam memorandum opinion provides no substantive analysis, leaving the underlying Business Court ruling undisturbed following voluntary dismissal under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a).
Procedural Posture and Parties
The Fifteenth Court of Appeals dismissed appeal number 15-25-00020-CV on October 2, 2025, following an unopposed motion by appellants Storable, Inc.; RedNova Labs, Inc. (d/b/a storEDGE); Sitelink Software, LLC; Easy Storage Solutions, LLC; Bader Co.; and Property First Group, LP. The appeal originated from Business Court Division 3A of Travis County, trial court cause number 25-BC03A-0001, with appellee Safelease Insurance Services, LLC not opposing dismissal. The panel consisted of Chief Justice Brister and Justices Field and Farris.
The Court's Ruling
The per curiam memorandum opinion states only:
Appellants filed an unopposed motion to dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a). The motion is granted. We dismiss the appeal.Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a) permits voluntary dismissal of civil cases in the court of appeals. The opinion provides no information about the underlying dispute, the Business Court's ruling being appealed, or the reasons for appellants' decision to dismiss.
Significance for Business Court Practice
The voluntary dismissal leaves whatever ruling Division 3A issued in place without appellate review or precedential analysis. The opinion offers no substantive guidance on Business Court jurisprudence or the merits of any issues that may have been presented to the trial court. The case demonstrates that appeals from Business Court Division 3A are subject to the same procedural rules governing voluntary dismissal as other civil appeals in Texas courts.
