APPEAL FROM 419TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY BEFORE CHIEF JUSTICE JONES, JUSTICES ROSE AND GOODWIN REVERSED AND RENDERED -- OPINION BY CHIEF JUSTICE JONES

This is an appeal from the judgment signed by the trial court on January 23, 2014. Having

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

the trial court’s judgment. Therefore, the Court reverses the trial court’s judgment and renders

judgment that old rules 1 Tex. Admin. Code § 371.1703(b)(5) and (6) (2005) (repealed) and

current rules 1 Tex. Admin. Code § 371.1709(a) (2), (3), (4) and § 371.1709 (e)(2) are invalid.

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