 Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners; Patricia Gilbert, in her Official Capacity as the

                                                 v.

                              Texas Medical Association, Appellee

            APPEAL FROM THE 353RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
             BEFORE JUSTICES PURYEAR, PEMBERTON, AND BOURLAND;
                    JUSTICE PEMBERTON NOT PARTICIPATING
              AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED AND RENDERED IN PART—
                         OPINION BY JUSTICE BOURLAND

This is an appeal from the judgment signed by the trial court on October 19, 2016. Having

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

the court’s judgment. Therefore, the Court reverses that portion of the trial court’s judgment that

declares that the use of “diagnosis” in section 78.13(d) exceeds the scope of chiropractic practice

and is void. We affirm the trial court’s judgment in all other respects. Each party shall bear their

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