Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-25-00496-CV

Yvonne Y. Galindo and Big Valley Community Trust, Appellants

v.

Big Valley Cemetery Association and Charles E. Long, Incorporator, Appellees

FROM THE 35TH DISTRICT COURT OF MILLS COUNTY NO. 24-167-DCCV-00034, THE HONORABLE MIKE SMITH, JUDGE PRESIDING

CONCURRING AND DISSENTING OPINION TO ORDER

Because I agree with the Court’s conclusion that Galindo cannot represent the Trust

but would conclude that Galindo is not a party to this suit in her individual capacity, I would

dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction and thus dissent from the Court’s per curiam order.
