v. § Appeal from the

JUDGMENT
The Court has considered this cause on the record and concludes there was error in the
trial court’s judgment as to Appellant’s trespass claim. We therefore reverse that portion of the
trial court’s judgment and remand for further proceedings as to Appellant’s trespass claim.
We also reverse the trial court’s judgment as to attorney’s fees. We suggest a remittitur
of $3,033.81 to Border Demolition and the Solises. Appellees have 15 days from the date of this
opinion’s issuance to accept remittitur. If remittitur is accepted, the judgment of the trial court
will be reformed to reflect an attorney’s fees award of $74,967.19, and we will affirm the
judgment as modified. If Appellees do not accept remittitur within that period of time, the
judgment of the trial court will be reversed and this cause remanded for a new trial on attorney’s
fees.
The remainder of the judgment is affirmed, in accordance with the opinion of this Court.
We further order that Appellees recover from Appellant and her sureties, if any, see TEX. R. APP.
P. 43.5. for performance on the judgment and all costs, both in this court and the court below, for
which let execution issue. This decision shall be certified below for observance.
IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 13TH DAY OF MAY, 2015.
