WAYMON HARTWELL A/K/A SCOTT                 §    On Appeal from County Court at
HARTWELL, Appellant                              Law No. 2

                                            §    January 4, 2024

THE FUNDWORKS, LLC, Appellee                §    Memorandum Opinion by Justice
                                                 Bassel

                                    JUDGMENT

      This court has considered the record on appeal in this case and holds that there

was error in the trial court’s February 14, 2023 order. It is ordered that the fee

provision spanning pages 5 and 6 of trial court’s order is modified to read:

      IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Receiver’s fee is conditionally set
      at 25% of the funds collected during the receivership, subject to the
      Defendant’s written agreement or later determination of reasonableness
      based on written agreement of the Defendant or proof of the work
      performed and the results obtained. The court-approved fee will be
      taxed as costs against the Defendant, and the Receiver may collect that
      fee from the Defendant in addition to the amount collected to satisfy the
      judgment.
       It is further ordered that the page-6 provision regarding recovery of costs is

modified to read:

       IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Receiver must provide an
       accounting or receipts of any reasonable and necessary expenses,
       including those for storage of any property seized, to the court. Court-
       approved expenses will be taxed as costs against the Defendant, and the
       Receiver may collect those expenses from the Defendant in addition to
       the amount collected to satisfy the judgment.

We affirm the trial court’s order as modified.

       It is further ordered that Appellant Waymon Hartwell a/k/a Scott Hartwell

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