APPEAL FROM 353RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY BEFORE JUSTICES PURYEAR, GOODWIN, AND FIELD AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED AND REMANDED IN PART – OPINION BY JUSTICE PURYEAR This is an appeal from the judgment signed by the trial court on May 16, 2013. Having reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments, the Court holds that there was reversible error in that portion of the court’s judgment awarding the accrued investment interest to the City of Austin.

Therefore, the Court reverses the portion of the trial court’s judgment awarding the accrued investment interest to the City of Austin, affirms the remainder of the court’s judgment, and remands the case to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with the Court’s opinion.

The City of Austin shall pay all costs relating to this appeal, both in this Court and the court below.
