OPINION
Martha Hill Jamison, Justice
Joseph R. Willie, II appeals from a judgment issued in a suit to collect delinquent property taxes. Among other things, the judgment ordered that taxing authorities be reimbursed for costs associated with bringing suit from tax sale proceeds. In two issues, Willie contends that (1) the trial court lost subject matter jurisdiction when he paid the taxes, interest, and penalties due, and (2) appellees were not entitled to recover costs because they did not prevail on the merits. We affirm.
