COURT OF APPEALS SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS FORT WORTH

NO. 02-12-00028-CV

Bryan L. Walter § From the 325th District Court

§ of Tarrant County (325-482523-10) v. § June 27, 2013 Donald E. Teller, Jr. and Sonya Dee Jennings § Opinion by Justice Meier

JUDGMENT

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

there was error in the trial court’s order. The order is modified to remove any

reference to chapter 9 of the civil practice and remedies code. It is ordered that

the order of the trial court is affirmed as modified.

We further hold that Appellant Bryan L. Walter’s appeal is unsuccessful,

and the trial court’s conditional award of $15,000 in appellate attorney’s fees to

Donald E. Teller, Jr., Sonya Dee Jennings’s attorney, is now unconditional.

Therefore, pursuant to the trial court’s order, Appellant Bryan L. Walter shall pay

to Appellee Donald E. Teller, Jr. the sum of $15,000 in appellate attorney’s fees. It is further ordered that Appellant Bryan L. Walter shall pay all costs of this

appeal, for which let execution issue.
