APPEAL FROM THE 261ST DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY BEFORE JUSTICES GOODWIN, BAKER, TRIANA AFFIRMED IN PART, VACATED AND DISMISSED IN PART -- OPINION BY JUSTICE TRIANA

This is an appeal from the judgment signed by the trial court on May 9, 2018. Having reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments, the Court holds that there was no reversible error in that portion of the trial court’s judgment granting the Governor’s plea to the jurisdiction and granting the Commissioners’ motion for summary judgment. The Court further holds that there was reversible error in that portion of the trial court’s judgment granting the Intervenors’ summary- judgment motion. Therefore, the Court affirms that portion of the trial court’s judgment granting the Governor’s plea to the jurisdiction and granting the Commissioners’ motion for summary judgment, vacates that portion of the trial court’s judgment granting the Intervenors’ summary- judgment motion, and dismisses the Appellants’ suit for want of jurisdiction. The Appellants shall pay all costs relating to this appeal, both in this Court and the court below.
