                                    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 order of the trial court is

reversed. We render judgment dismissing the fraud and DTPA claims against Lance

Howerton and dismissing the defamation claims based on his actions as a city

employee and remand the case to the trial court.

      It is further ordered that Appellees American Precision Ammunition, LLC,

a/k/a Precision Ammunition and Matthew Campbell shall pay all costs of this appeal,

for which let execution issue.
