APPEAL FROM 261ST DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
BEFORE CHIEF JUSTICE ROSE, JUSTICES PEMBERTON AND FIELD
VACATED AND RENDERED -- OPINION BY CHIEF JUSTICE ROSE

This is an appeal from the order signed by the district court on May 2, 2014. Having reviewed

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

district court’s order. Therefore, the Court vacates the district court’s order granting the

temporary injunction, dissolves the temporary injunction, and renders judgment dismissing the

Charter Holders’ suits for want of jurisdiction. The appellees shall pay all costs relating to this

appeal, both in this Court and the court below.
