EL PASO, TEXAS
PETER I. SHAH, § No. 08-22-00198-CV
Appellant § Appeal from the
§ 143rd Judicial District Court
v.

MAPLE ENERGY HOLDINGS, LLC,

Appellee

SUPPLEMENTAL OPINION
In our opinion dated July 31, 2023, we suggested a remittitur of $9,738.00 of the attorney’s
fees awarded to Appellee Maple Energy. We stated that if Maple Energy filed a remittitur within
15 days from the date of the opinion, we would modify the judgment with respect to the award of
attorney’s fees, reducing the attorney’s fees award to $85,416.50, and affirming the trial court’s
judgment as modified.
On August 8, 2023, Maple Energy timely filed its consent to the suggestion of remittitur
and asked the Court to modify the trial court’s judgment to reflect an award of attorney’s fees in
the amount of $85,416.50. Accordingly, we vacate our judgment, but not our opinion, dated July
31, 2023, and modify the trial court’s judgment with respect to the award of attorney’s fees to
reflect the remittitur of $9,738.00. The trial court’s judgment is therefore modified to award Maple
Energy $85,416.50 in attorney’s fees as the total money judgment in its favor. See TEX. R. APP. P.
46.3. As modified, we affirm the trial court’s judgment. This Court’s July 31, 2023 opinion
otherwise remains in effect.
