That bright line or “two-dismissal” rule is: “If a plaintiff has once dismissed an action, a dismissal by notice of a second action based on or including the same claim, amounts to an adjudication on the merits.
This is effectively shorthand for saying: 'whilst I am trying to reach a settlement with you, I'm not admitting any part of the case or conceding or waiving any arguments or rights - so, my offers to achieve a commercial deal are without prejudice to my primary position that I'm right and you're wrong'.
There is no particular magic in the words “without prejudice” in a letter. The substance of the communication will be considered to determine if it forms part of genuine negotiations for the settlement of a dispute.
(a) If the parties reach a settlement and execute a written agreement disposing of the dispute, the agreement is enforceable in the same manner as any other written contract. (b) The court in its discretion may incorporate the terms of the agreement in the court's final decree disposing of the case.
Without Prejudice Meaning The basic meaning of 'without prejudice' is that statements made in the settlement of an existing dispute cannot be relied upon as evidence against the interests of the relevant party if negotiations fail and the parties then have to formally engage in a dispute resolution procedure.
Dismissal Without Prejudice: Allows the plaintiff to refile the case in the future, assuming no statute of limitations has elapsed. Dismissal With Prejudice: This is a final judgment that prevents the plaintiff from bringing the same claim or cause of action against the same defendant in the future.
Under Texas law, the party seeking to enforce a settlement agreement in a pending action may amend his pleadings to bring a breach of contract action against the non-settling party, and the judge may enforce the settlement as a written contract upon demonstration of proof.

In sum, a dismissal with prejudice means that a judge's order is the final judgment in the case, and the prosecutor cannot refile charges. In a dismissal without prejudice, the prosecutor can, in the future, either refile the charges or file new charges based on the same alleged criminal incident.
