dismissed, in accordance with the opinion of this Court. We therefore dismiss the appeal and

order the District Court of Travis County to release to Franklin Garden Apartments the funds

paid into the registry of the court for the purpose of superseding the judgment. It is further

ordered that costs of this appeal are taxed against the party incurring same. This decision shall

be certified below for observance.

       IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 20TH DAY OF JANUARY, 2017.
