JUDGMENT

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

was error in part of the trial court’s judgment. It is ordered that the trial court’s

judgment is reversed in part and affirmed in part. We reverse the trial court’s special

appearance order as to the City Claimants’ claims against Source Capital and as to

their fraud and negligent misrepresentation claims against Emmons. We affirm the

trial court’s order granting Emmons’s special appearance on the breach of contract,

promissory estoppel, conversion, and TTLA-violation claims. It is further ordered that all parties shall bear their own costs of this appeal, for

which let execution issue.
