                                                                 (TC# 2016DCV2081)

                                         JUDGMENT

       The Court has considered this cause on the record and concludes there was error in the

judgment as it relates to the exemplary damages awards to the Fernandezes and the Actons. We

therefore reverse only those awards and render a final judgment that: (1) removes the exemplary

damages awards in the amount of $30,000 to Appellees Federico and Carol Fernandez, and in the

amount of $60,000 to Appellees Ron and Debbie Acton; and (2) we affirm the trial court’s

judgment in all other respects.

       We further order that Appellees recover from Appellant for performance of the judgment

and all costs, both in this Court and the court below, for which let execution issue. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 43.5. This decision shall be certified below for observance.

       IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 14TH DAY OF AUGUST, 2023.
