APPEAL FROM 345TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY BEFORE CHIEF JUSTICE JONES, JUSTICES PEMBERTON AND FIELD AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED AND RENDERED IN PART – OPINION BY JUSTICE PEMBERTON

This is an appeal from the order signed by the district court on January 11, 2013. Having reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments, the Court holds that there was reversible error in the district court’s order. Therefore, the Court reverses in part the district court’s order denying appellants’ plea to the jurisdiction and renders judgment dismissing appellees’ UDJA claims without prejudice to refiling. However, as to all of the appellees’ other claims, we conclude that the district court possesses subject-matter jurisdiction to adjudicate them. Accordingly, to that extent, we affirm its order denying appellants’ plea. The appellants shall pay all costs relating to this appeal, both in this Court and the court below.
