during the pendency of this interlocutory appeal from the order granting a

“While an appeal from a temporary order is pending, only the appellate court
in which the appeal is pending may enforce the order.” Tex. R. App. P. 29.4. When
an accelerated appeal from an interlocutory order is perfected, we may make such
orders as are necessary to preserve the parties’ rights until disposition of the
appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 29.3. After reviewing the motion and response, we find
that temporary orders are necessary to preserve the parties’ rights until disposition
of the appeal. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(b).
It is ORDERED that all trial court hearings, orders, or actions to enforce the
trial court’s February 2, 2015 temporary injunction, or to sanction any party or
attorney for alleged disobedience of the temporary injunction during the pendency
of this interlocutory appeal in Cause No. 126,841 are STAYED until our Opinion
issues or until this Court refers the matter to the trial court for enforcement. See
Tex. R. App. P. 29.3; see also Tex. R. App. P. 29.4.
ORDER ENTERED March 2, 2015.
