                                             §   August 17, 2023

CENTRE STATION APARTMENTS, LLC,              §   Memorandum Opinion by Justice
Appellee                                         Bassel

                                      JUDGMENT

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

was error in part of the trial court’s judgment. It is ordered that the judgment of the

trial court is modified in part, reversed in part, and affirmed in part.

       We modify the judgment to delete any reference to granting a traditional

summary judgment.

       We reverse the trial court’s judgment on the following claims only:

       • that Centre Station Apartments, LLC breached the lease by allowing human
       blood to remain on the breezeway for several weeks;
      • that Centre Station violated Property Code Section 92.201 by failing to
      disclose the record title owner’s name and address;

      • that Centre Station allowed a common nuisance on the premises;

      • that Centre Station committed a private nuisance by “maintain[ing] the loud
      disruptions [and] noise from the bathroom plumbing after several complaints”;

      • that Centre Station breached the warranty of habitability by failing to provide
      safe premises free of hazardous waste; and

      • that Centre Station breached the warranty of quiet enjoyment due to “trash
      throughout the community,” insect infestation, and the failure to remove
      human blood from the premises.

      We affirm trial court’s judgment as to Shannon Brooks’s other pleaded claims

and remand this case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
