Opinion

In The Court of Appeals Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo

No. 07-25-00148-CV No. 07-25-00252-CV

HUB CITY VETERINARY CLINIC, PLLC, APPELLANT

V.

JEFF LEDFORD, DVM, APPELLEE

On Appeal from the 237th District Court Lubbock County, Texas Trial Court No. DC-2023-CV-1532-A, Honorable Les Hatch, Presiding

August 26, 2025 ORDER OF SEVERANCE AND DISMISSAL Before QUINN, C.J., and DOSS and YABROUGH, JJ.

Appellant, Hub City Veterinary Clinic, PLLC, appeals from the trial court’s

Amended Order on Cross Motions for Summary Judgment and Order Granting Counter

Plaintiff, Jeff Ledford, DVM’s, Motion to Sever Declaratory Judgment. Appellee, Jeff

Ledford, DVM, filed a cross-notice of appeal. Now pending before this Court is Ledford’s

unopposed motion seeking voluntary dismissal of his cross-appeal. We find the motion to dismiss complies with the requirements of Rule of Appellate

Procedure 42.1(a)(1) and that granting the motion will not prevent any party from seeking

relief to which it would otherwise be entitled. Accordingly, we sever Ledford’s cross-

appeal into cause number 07-25-00252-CV, grant his motion to dismiss, and dismiss the

appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(b) (permitting disposition of severable portion of an

appeal). Costs of the cross-appeal shall be taxed against Ledford. See id. at 42.1(d).

No motion for rehearing will be entertained and our mandate will issue forthwith.

Hub City Veterinary Clinic, PLLC’s appeal shall continue to disposition under

appellate cause number 07-25-00148-CV.

It is so ordered.
