v.

El Patio, LLC d/b/a El Patio Motel, Appellee

APPEAL FROM 119TH DISTRICT COURT OF TOM GREEN COUNTY BEFORE CHIEF JUSTICE ROSE, JUSTICES GOODWIN AND FIELD AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED AND REMANDED IN PART -- OPINION BY CHIEF JUSTICE ROSE

This is an appeal from the judgment signed by the district court on April 8, 2011. Having

reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments, the Court holds that there was reversible error in

the district court’s judgment. Therefore, the Court reverses the district court’s joint and several

award of exemplary damages and remands the issue of exemplary damages to the district court

for its reconsideration. We affirm the remainder of the district court’s judgment. The appellant

shall pay all costs relating to this appeal, both in this Court and the court below.
