ordered STAYED pending further order of this Court, or until the case is finally decided.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.10(b) (“Unless vacated or modified, an order granting temporary
relief is effective until the case is finally decided.”).
The Court requests that the real parties in interest, Andrea Gilliland and Sandra
Dee Taylor, or any others whose interest would be directly affected by the relief sought,
file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus on or before the expiration of ten days
from the date of this order. See id. R. 52.2, 52.4, 52.8.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
