CENTERPOINT ENERGY RESOURCES CORPORATION, Appellee ________________________________

This cause, an appeal from the judgment in favor of appellee CenterPoint Energy Resources Corporation, signed, September 7, 2011, was heard on the transcript of the record. We have inspected the record and find error in the portions of the trial court’s judgment addressing appellant’s gross-negligence, intentional- misrepresentation and negligent-misrepresentation claims. We therefore order the portions of the trial court’s judgment addressing the gross-negligence claim REVERSED and REMAND for proceedings consistent with section C of Justice Christopher’s opinion. We further order the portions of the trial court’s judgment addressing the intentional-misrepresentation and negligent-misrepresentation claims REVERSED and REMAND for proceedings consistent with section IV.C. of Chief Justice Frost’s opinion. Finding no error in the remainder of the judgment, we order it AFFIRMED. For good cause, we order appellant to pay one-half of all costs incurred in this appeal, and we order appellee to pay one-half of all costs incurred in this appeal. We further order this decision certified below for observance.
