in Re Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company ( 2021 )

NUMBER 13-20-00573-CV
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG
IN RE ALLSTATE FIRE AND CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
ORDER
Before Justices Benavides, Longoria, and Tijerina
Order Per Curiam
Relator Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company (Allstate) filed a petition for
writ of mandamus and an emergency motion for temporary relief and stay in the above-
referenced cause. Allstate asserts that the trial court abused its discretion in denying
Allstate’s motion to quash the deposition of its corporate representative and it lacks an
adequate remedy by appeal. Allstate requests that we issue an order staying the
December 23, 2020 order requiring Allstate to proceed with the deposition and the
deposition itself, which is currently scheduled for January 6, 2021.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the emergency motion for
temporary relief, is of the opinion that it should be granted. Accordingly, we ORDER the
December 23, 2020 order allowing the deposition, and the deposition itself, to be
STAYED pending further order of this Court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.10. The Court
requests that the real parties in interest, Larissa Ann Cantu and Julia Gonzales Fuentes,
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
4th day of January, 2021.
