OPINION BY JUSTICE TOTH

This is an appeal from the interlocutory orders signed by the district court on May 19, 2017.

Having reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments, the Court holds that there was reversible

error in the court’s interlocutory orders. Therefore, the Court reverses the district court’s order

overruling the plea to the jurisdiction, vacates its injunction order, and renders judgment

dismissing the cause. The appellees shall pay all costs relating to this appeal, both in this Court

and in the court below.
