MOTION FOR REHEARING DENIED

           Appellee Liliana Diaz-Moore has filed a motion for rehearing challenging this court’s

disposition of the issues raised on appeal and requesting that this court clarify the scope of our

remand. The motion for rehearing is denied; however, to the extent necessary given existing Texas

Supreme Court precedent defining the scope of a remand in this context, this court’s judgment is

clarified to limit the scope of the remand to a remand for a new trial on the issue of unliquidated

damages. See Holt Atherton Indus., Inc. v. Heine, 835 S.W.2d 80, 86 (Tex. 1992) (noting
                                                                                  04-15-00766-CV

appropriate disposition when an appellate court sustains a no evidence point after an uncontested

hearing on unliquidated damages following a no-answer default judgment is a remand for a new

trial on the issue of unliquidated damages); Trenton v. Hammitt, No. 04-10-00316-CV, 2010 WL
5545423, at *3 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Dec. 29, 2010, no pet.) (mem. op.) (same). This court’s

opinion of October 26, 2016, remains unchanged.
