G. Daniel Mena , El Paso, for appellees.

OPINION

ANN CRAWFORD McCLURE, Justice.

We consider today the propriety of a fee award to a guardian ad litem in a wrongful death and survival action against Ford Motor Company and other defendants. Those claims were fully settled and are not at issue here. On appeal, Ford challenges the $17,087 awarded to G. Daniel Mena, who was appointed for the minor plaintiff. We reverse and render judgment for Mena in the amount of $10,562.50.
