PETER LYDEN, Appellant                     §   On Appeal from County Court at Law
                                               No. 1

V.                                         §   of Parker County (CIV-23-0139)

                                           §   October 12, 2023

JACKIE ALDRIDGE, Appellee                  §   Memorandum Opinion by Justice
                                               Walker

                                    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 judgment. It is ordered that the judgment of the

trial court is affirmed in part and reversed in part. We affirm that portion of the trial

court’s judgment that denies Lyden’s TCPA motion to dismiss as it pertains to

Aldridge’s defamation claim. We reverse in part and render judgment dismissing

Aldridge’s IIED claim and remand this matter for further proceedings consistent with

our memorandum opinion of even date herewith.
      It is further ordered that each party shall pay their own costs of this appeal, for

which let execution issue.
