Jennifer Pedroza of Arlington could be awarded about $US10.7 million once attorneys for her and former business partner Amanda Hayward of Australia settle on the amount she is owed, including attorney fees, court officials said.
Judge Susan McCoy said she would rule on a firm amount once an agreement between the two sides was reached.
Pedroza was part of The Writers Coffee Shop, a small independent publisher of ebooks that originally published the Fifty Shades trilogy as an e-book and print-on-demand book, according to court papers.
She did not appear in court on Wednesday but her attorney, Mike Farris, said: "We have been pleased with everything since the jury verdict."

A Fort Worth jury decided in February that Pedroza was defrauded out of her share of royalties by Hayward, who tricked Pedroza into signing an agreement that cut her out of her share of the royalties after Hayward signed the deal with Random House.
The jury determined that Pedroza was one of the four original owners of The Writers Coffee Shop and Hayward fraudulently presented the restructuring arrangement so she could keep the Random House money for herself.
After attorneys for Hayward said she did not have $10 million available, McCoy said she would allow property to be applied toward the amount.
David Keltner, an attorney for Hayward, said the jury decision and judgment might be appealed.
Pedroza filed the lawsuit in Tarrant County in May 2014, seeking an amount over $1 million, according to court papers. ?Sydney Morning Herald
