Per Curiam Order
Relators Old American County Mutual Fire Insurance Company and Pronto
General Agency, Ltd. filed a petition for writ of mandamus and emergency motion for stay
of the proceedings in the above cause on June 17, 2014. Through this original

The Court, having examined and fully considered the emergency motion for stay
of the proceedings, is of the opinion that said motion should be granted. The motion for
emergency stay is hereby GRANTED, and all proceedings in the trial court are 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, Freedom Communications, Inc.
d/b/a The Brownsville Herald, Dalia Garcia, Fructuoso Saenz, Consuelo Davila, Rosa
Zepeda, 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.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
18th day of June, 2014.
