JENNIFER C. CASS AND NICHOLE R.            §   On Appeal from the 96th District Court
MALICOAT, Appellants
                                           §   of Tarrant County (096-340129-23)

V.                                         §   September 28, 2023

CHERYL ANNE HUGHES, AS TRUSTEE             §   Memorandum Opinion by Justice Womack
OF THE JIMMY CELTYN HUGHES QTIP
MARITAL TRUST, Appellee

                                    JUDGMENT

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

was error in the trial court’s order. It is ordered that the trial court’s order denying

Appellants Jennifer C. Cass and Nicole1 R. Malicoat’s TCPA motion to dismiss is

reversed. We further render judgment granting Cass and Malicoat’s TCPA motion to

dismiss, and we remand this case to the trial court for further proceedings consistent

      1
       As noted in our opinion, the listing of Malicoat’s first name in the style of this
appeal as “Nichole” appears to be a typographical error.
with our opinion and with Section 27.009(a)(1) of the Texas Civil Practice and

Remedies Code.

      It is further ordered that Appellee Cheryl Anne Hughes, as Trustee of the

Jimmy Celtyn Hughes QTIP Marital Trust, shall bear the costs of this appeal, for

which let execution issue.
