                                     JUDGMENT

      This court has considered the record on appeal in this case and holds that there

was error in the trial court’s order. We affirm the portion of the trial court’s order

that denied the District Appellants’ plea to the jurisdiction as to Appellees’ TOMA

claim. We reverse the portion of the trial court’s order that denied the District

Appellants’ plea to the jurisdiction as to Appellees’ UDJA claim. Accordingly, we

vacate our September 13, 2021 order that reinstated the trial court’s September 3,

2021 temporary-injunction order, and we dissolve the trial court’s September 3, 2021

temporary-injunction order. The case is remanded to the trial court for further

proceedings consistent with this opinion.

      It is further ordered that Appellees shall pay half of the costs of this appeal, and

Appellants Kent Scribner and Fort Worth Independent School District shall pay half

of the costs of this appeal, for which let execution issue.
