In the
Court of Appeals
Second Appellate District of Texas
at Fort Worth
No. 02-24-00467-CV

DALIA LOPEZ, Appellant § On Appeal from County Court at Law

§ No. 2

V. § of Denton County (CV-2023-02962)

§ August 14, 2025
CAMRON R. LAROCHELLE AND CASEY
BUTLER, Appellees § Memorandum Opinion by Justice Womack

JUDGMENT

This court has considered the record on appeal in this case and holds that there

was error in part of the trial court’s judgment. It is ordered that the judgment of the

trial court is affirmed in part and reversed in part. We affirm the trial court’s grant of

Appellees’ no-evidence motion for summary judgment with respect to two aspects of

Appellant’s breach-of-contract counterclaim—Appellant’s claim that Appellees

breached the subject lease by (1) failing to report health and safety issues to her and

(2) moving without giving her written notice. We reverse the trial court’s grant of

Appellees’ no-evidence motion for summary judgment with respect to one aspect of
Appellant’s breach-of-contract counterclaim—Appellant’s claim that they failed to pay

rent. We also reverse the trial court’s grant of Appellees’ traditional motion for

summary judgment and reverse the trial court’s award of attorney’s fees. We remand

this case to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with our opinion.

It is further ordered that all parties shall bear their own costs of this appeal, for

which let execution issue.
