         APPEAL FROM THE 353RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
          BEFORE CHIEF JUSTICE BYRNE, JUSTICES TRIANA AND SMITH
           AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART AND REMANDED –
                     OPINION BY CHIEF JUSTICE BYRNE

This is an appeal from the order signed by the trial court on April 18, 2022. Having reviewed the

record and the parties’ arguments, the Court holds that there was reversible error in the court’s

order. Therefore, the Court affirms the denial of the plea to the jurisdiction concerning the

mandamus petition. We reverse the denial of the plea to the jurisdiction concerning the petition

for judicial review. We remand this cause to the trial court for further proceedings. Each party

shall bear their own costs relating to this appeal, both in this Court and in the court below.
