was error in the trial court’s order denying the motion to transfer venue filed by

appellants Devon Energy Corporation; Devon Energy Production Company, L.P.;

and Devon Gas Services, L.P. The trial court’s denial order is reversed and the case is

remanded to that court with instructions to sustain the motion and to transfer venue

as to appellee Iona Energy, L.P.’s claims to Tarrant County.

      It is further ordered that appellee Iona Energy, L.P. shall bear the costs of this

appeal, for which let execution issue.
