      Appellee filed a motion to recuse Justice Hollis Horton on September 23,

2016. Justice Horton certified the matter to the Court. The Court finds appellant

failed to present grounds which justify recusal in this case. See Tex. R. App. P. 16;

see also Tex. R. Civ. P. 18b. Accordingly, the motion to recuse Justice Hollis

Horton is denied.

      ORDER ENTERED September 29, 2016.
