        APPEAL FROM THE 345TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
               BEFORE JUSTICES BAKER, TRIANA, AND JONES
          AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED AND RENDERED IN PART--
                       OPINION BY JUSTICE JONES


This is an appeal from the judgment signed by the trial court on May 13, 2021. Having reviewed

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

court’s judgment in that attorney’s fees may not be awarded against the companies or Cox

individually; accordingly, we reverse that portion of the trial court’s judgment and render

judgment that no attorney’s fees be awarded against Plan B Holdings, LLC, CIPE Real Estate

Solutions, LLC, or Cheryl Cox. We affirm the portion of the trial court’s judgment awarding

actual damages of $83,509.63 and sanctions of $2,500.00 against Cox individually, plus

post-judgment interest on those amounts. Plan B, CIPE, and Cox shall bear half the costs

relating to this appeal, both in this Court and in the court below, and RSLLP shall bear half such

costs; and this decision shall be certified below for observance.
