On June 28, 2024, appellant filed a motion for rehearing and en banc reconsideration of the May 15, 2024 opinion and judgment in this appeal.

See Tex. R. App. P. 41.2, 49.3. Justice Alvarez's successor, the Honorable Lori Massey Brissette, participated in the en banc court's consideration of appellant's motion. See id. R. 41.2.
