                                   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 order. It is ordered that the order of the

trial court is affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded. We affirm that

portion of the trial court’s order that denied the motion to dismiss as to Appellees’

libel claim. We reverse that portion of the trial court’s order that denied the

Appellants’ motion to dismiss as to Appellees’ business disparagement,

intentional infliction of emotional distress, tortious interference, and breach of

contract claims.   We remand this case to the trial court further proceedings
consistent with this opinion and in accordance with the Texas Citizens

Participation Act.

      It is further ordered that Appellants Stephen Nolan Bedford and Autumn

Bedford shall pay all costs of this appeal, for which let execution issue.
