BENJAMIN S. EMMONS, AND SOURCE Opinion by Justice Birdwell
CAPITAL, LLC, Appellees
JUDGMENT
This court has considered the record on appeal in this case and holds that there
was error in part of the trial court’s judgment. It is ordered that the trial court’s
judgment is reversed in part and affirmed in part. We reverse the trial court’s special
appearance order as to the City Claimants’ claims against Source Capital and as to
their fraud and negligent misrepresentation claims against Emmons. We affirm the
trial court’s order granting Emmons’s special appearance on the breach of contract,
promissory estoppel, conversion, and TTLA-violation claims.
It is further ordered that all parties shall bear their own costs of this appeal, for
which let execution issue.
