Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas

If you've been made whole, and it was to your satisfaction, then there's no reason to keep a lawsuit alive in the court system. When lawsuits go stale (nothing happens on them) the courts will dismiss them, claiming that you didn't pursue them through the system (want of prosecution).

In this case, the case is moot, as you were paid what you were owed. There's no reason to keep an active file. No one notified the court that it settled (I assume), so the court, seeing no action taken on the file, assumes that you don't need to use court resources anymore. That's why they're dismissing the case.
