Bryan L. Walter § From the 325th District Court § of Tarrant County (325-482523-10) v. § June 27, 2013 Donald E. Teller, Jr. and Sonya Dee Jennings § Opinion by Justice Meier JUDGMENT This court has considered the record on appeal in this case and holds that there was error in the trial court’s order. The order is modified to remove any reference to chapter 9 of the civil practice and remedies code. It is ordered that the order of the trial court is affirmed as modified.

It is further ordered that Appellant Bryan L. Walter shall pay all costs of this appeal, for which let execution issue.
