reversed and rendered in part.

all other respects, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed in accordance with the opinion of
the court; that all costs of this appeal are hereby assessed equally amongst the parties; and that
this decision be certified to the court below for observance.”

        WHEREAS, WE COMMAND YOU to observe the order of our said Court of Appeals
for the Twelfth Court of Appeals District of Texas in this behalf, and in all things have it duly
recognized, obeyed, and executed.
