Dear Counsel:

Today the Supreme Court of Texas made the following non-substantive change to the opinion issued on December 18, 2009 correcting the erroneous placement of a citation to the court of appeals' opinion and adding a case citation where the case name appeared in the sentence in the above- referenced cause. Correction made to page three, paragraph two: "AES argues, and the court of appeals held, that our holdings in Light, 224 S.W.3d at 553, and Sheshunoff v. Johnson, 209 S.W.3d 644 (Tex. 2006), dictate the result in this case."

Corrected to:

"AES argues, and the court of appeals held, that our holdings in Light, 883 S.W.2d at 644--45, and Sheshunoff v. Johnson, 209 S.W.3d 644 (Tex. 2006), dictate the result in this case. 224 S.W.3d at 553."

You may obtain a copy of the opinion at: http://www.supreme.courts.state.tx.us/historical/recent.asp. If you would like the opinion by email, please contact Claudia Jenks at [email protected] or call (512)463-1312 ext. 41367
