               In response to our opinion issued in this appeal on August 13, 2014, Larry Grant has

the James B. Bonham Corporation. In our opinion issued on August 13, 2014, we overruled the

appellants’ remaining issues on appeal. Accordingly, we affirm, as reformed herein, the trial

court’s judgment.
