We have inspected the record and find error in the judgment. We therefore REVERSE the trial court’s denial of appellants’ plea to the jurisdiction with regard to HMEPS’s mandamus claims against the City of Houston alleging failures to comply and seeking to compel compliance with article 6243h. We RENDER judgment dismissing these claims. We REVERSE the trial court’s denial of appellants’ plea with regard to HMEPS’s mandamus claims against the City officials to the extent that HMEPS alleges failures to comply with section 8 of article 6243h or the July 2011 meet-and- confer agreement and REMAND with instructions for the trial court to provide HMEPS a reasonable opportunity to properly plead ultra vires claims against the City officials. We AFFIRM the trial court’s denial of appellants’ plea with regard to HMEPS’s mandamus claims against the City officials alleging failures to comply with section 2(u) of article 6243h. We AFFIRM the trial court’s denial of appellants’ plea with regard to HMEPS’s mandamus claim against the City of Houston alleging failure to comply and seeking to compel compliance with the TPIA. We REVERSE the trial court’s denial of appellants’ plea with regard to HMEPS’s mandamus claims against defendants other than the City of Houston or the City’s officer for public information alleging failures to comply and seeking to compel compliance with the TPIA. We RENDER judgment dismissing these claims. We further order that each party shall pay its costs by reason of this appeal. We further order this decision certified below for observance.
