 RDL ENERGY, LLC and                                               (TC# 19-02-07955-CV)

                                     Appellees. §

                                        JUDGMENT

       The Court has considered this cause on the record and concludes there was error in that

part of the judgment finding that Adrian Darius Samuel was not in the course and scope of his

employment at the time of the accident. We therefore reverse that part of the trial court’s judgment.

We affirm the motions for summary judgment as to the negligent entrustment claim for RDL

Energy Services, LP, RDL Energy, LLC and JPH Holdings, LLC.

       We further order that Appellants recover from Appellees and their sureties, if any, for

performance of the judgment and all costs of appeal, for which let execution issue. See

TEX.R.APP.P. 43.5. This decision shall be certified below for observance.
       IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 20TH DAY OF DECEMBER, 2022.

                                             JEFF ALLEY, Justice

Before Rodriguez, C.J., Palafox, and Alley, JJ.
