TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                          JUDGMENT RENDERED JULY 12, 2023

                                     NO. 03-22-00303-CV

                  Francine Lee Lankford and Frank T. Vickers, Appellants

                                                v.

                   Salvador Abreo and Frank J. Dzienowski, Jr, Appellees

       APPEAL FROM THE 423RD DISTRICT COURT OF BASTROP COUNTY
             BEFORE JUSTICES BAKER, THEOFANIS, AND JONES
          AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED AND REMANDED IN PART –
                       OPINION BY JUSTICE JONES

This is an appeal from the interlocutory order signed by the trial court on May 13, 2022. Having

reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments, the Court holds that there was no reversible error

in the portion of the order dismissing Vickers’s claim against Dzienowski. Therefore, the Court

affirms that portion of the trial court’s interlocutory order. The Court further holds that there

was reversible error in the portion of the order granting Abreo’s plea to the jurisdiction.

Therefore the Court reverses the portion of the trial court’s interlocutory order dismissing

Lankford’s claims against Abreo and remands the case against him to the trial court for further

proceedings. Vickers and Abreo shall each bear one-half of the costs of appeal, both in this

Court and in the court below.
