OPINION
SHERRY RADACK, Chief Justice.
This appeal involves a challenge to an award of attorneys’ fees pursuant to the Civil Rights Attorneys’ Fees Award Act (42 U.S.C. § 1988) arising out of claims made against the Harris County Bail Bond Board under Title 42, Section 1983 of the United States Code. Appellants, Carl R. Pruett and National American Insurance Company (collectively, “Pruett”), bring two issues challenging the adequacy of the trial court’s award. We also consider the trial court’s denial of Pruett’s motion to recuse. We reverse and remand.
