Justice Benavides

By three issues, appellant Alma Investments, Inc. (“Alma”) appeals the trial court’s judgment rendered in favor of ap-pellee Bahia Mar Co-Owners Association, Inc. (“the Co-Owners”). Alma asserts that the trial court (1) abused its discretion by ordering death penalty sanctions against Alma prior to the trial on the merits in this case; (2) erred by allowing the Co-Owners to recover attorneys’ fees; and (3) erred by awarding prejudgment interest on the award of attorneys’ fees.
