J. CURT LUCAS AND INVENIAS § On Appeal from
PARTNERS LLC, Appellants
§ County Court at Law No. 2
V. § of Denton County (CV-2016-02101)
§ June 27, 2019
CYNDI RAMIREZ RYAN, Appellees
Opinion by Justice Kerr
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 judgment of the
trial court is affirmed in part, reversed and rendered in part, and reversed and
remanded in part. We affirm the trial court’s order denying Appellants J. Curt Lucas’s
and Invenias Partners LLC’s special appearances. We reverse the trial court’s
judgment; render judgment that Appellee Cyndi Ramirez Ryan take nothing on her
claims for breach of contract, promissory estoppel, and negligent misrepresentation;
and remand Ryan’s quantum-meruit claim to the trial court for a new trial on both
liability and damages.
We order Lucas and Invenias to pay one-half of the costs of this appeal and
Ryan to pay one-half of the costs of this appeal.
