Angela Evans v. David Arthur ( 2014 )

Order entered June 13, 2014
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-00559-CV
ANGELA EVANS, Appellant
V.
DAVID ARTHUR, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 6
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 006-00536-2014
ORDER
Before the Court is appellant’s June 13, 2014 motion for emergency stay in which
appellant asks the Court to reduce the amount of supersedeas bond ordered by the trial court in
this action during the pendency of her appeal. Although by order dated May 27, 2014, this Court
abated this case because it was notified that appellant had filed a petition for bankruptcy in the
United States Bankruptcy Court, appellant has now provided the Court with a copy of an order of
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas, in which the bankruptcy
court has concluded the automatic stay does not operate as a stay of the continuation of this suit.
Accordingly, we ORDER this case reinstated upon the Court’s docket. We DENY relator’s
motion for emergency stay. TEX. PROP. CODE ANN. § 24.007 (“A judgment of a county court in
an eviction suit may not under any circumstances be stayed pending appeal unless, within 10
days of the signing of the judgment, the appellant files a supersedeas bond in an amount set by
the county court.”)
