REVERSED AND RENDERED
On May 16, 2012, we issued an opinion in this appeal. On May 30, 2012, Appellants filed a motion for rehearing. On June 8, 2012, the Texas Supreme Court issued its opinion in AHF Arbors at Huntsville I, LLC v. Walker County Appraisal District, Nos. 10-0683, 10-0714, 2012 WL 2052948 (Tex. June 8, 2012). In light of AHF Arbors, on June 11, 2012, we requested that Appellee file a response. See TEX. R. APP. P. 49.2. On June 26, 2012, the parties filed a Joint Motion for Withdrawal of Opinion and to Render Judgment in Accordance with the Parties' Agreement. Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(2)(A) and (c), and 43.2(c) and (f), the parties jointly move that (1) we withdraw our opinion of May 16, 2012, and (2) in accordance with their agreement, we "render judgment granting the Appellants the tax exemption they sought in the tribunals below for the tax years 2009 and 2010." We, therefore, grant the motion for rehearing, withdraw our prior opinion and judgment, and substitute this opinion and judgment in their place. We further grant the parties' joint motion, reverse the trial court's judgment, and render judgment that Appellants' exemption is granted for tax years 2009 and 2010. Costs of appeal are taxed against Appellants. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d) ("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant.").
