On Appeal from the 199th Judicial District Court

Trial Court Cause No. 199-02318-2013
Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Lang-Miers and Brown
ORDER
This is an interlocutory appeal from an order denying appellants’ special appearance. See
TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014(a)(7) (West 2013). Pursuant to Texas Civil
Practice and Remedies Code section 51.014(b), the commencement of trial pending resolution of
the appeal is stayed. See id. 51.014(b). By motion filed December 20, 2013, appellants seek to
expand the stay to “all” proceedings in the trial court, including discovery. Appellee opposes the
motion.
We GRANT the motion and STAY all further proceedings in the trial court, including
discovery, pending resolution of the appeal or further order of this Court. See TEX. R. APP. P.
29.3; Oryx Capital Int’l, Inc. v. Sage Apartments, 167 S.W.3d 432, 436-37 (Tex. App.—San
Antonio 2005, no pet.); Lacefield v. Elec. Fin. Grp., Inc., 21 S.W.3d 799, 800 (Tex. App.—
