 v.                                               §            38th Judicial District Court

 PHILIP G. KING and SYNCHROPILE, INC.,            §               of Real County, Texas

                               Appellees.         §               (TC# 2023-3796-DC)

                                        JUDGMENT

       The Court has considered this cause on the record and concludes the trial court’s judgment

should be affirmed in part and reversed and remanded in part. The trial court’s ruling granting

summary judgment and dismissing Appellant’s claims is affirmed except with regard to the

negligence claim arising from the specific professional engineering services King agreed to

perform. The portion of the trial court’s judgment dismissing Appellant’s negligence claim only

to that extent is reversed and remanded to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with

the Court’s opinion.

       We further order that each party shall pay one-half of the costs of appeal, for which let

execution issue. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.5. This decision shall be certified below for observance.

       IT IS ORDERED THIS 30TH DAY OF APRIL 2024.

                                             LISA J. SOTO, Justice
