Appellants filed a motion to dismiss a defamation claim filed by appellees under the Texas Citizens Participation Act.

Appellee alleged defamation based on statements made by appellant Ewers about her behavior at the neighborhood pool.

This was an accelerated interlocutory appeal of a case filed after an altercation at a homeowners' association meeting between members of the HOA board.

Appellants live within the Windsong Ranch development in Prosper, Texas, and are bound by the development's "master covenant."

A property buyer, who was sued for declaratory judgment and judicial foreclosure by the former owners, failed to prove on appeal that the trial court erred in denying a motion to dismiss pursuant to the Texas Citizens Participation Act.
