IN RE JAY MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLC
________________________________________________________________________
Original Proceeding
253rd District Court of Liberty County, Texas
Trial Cause No. CV1307335
________________________________________________________________________
ORDER
Jay Management Company, LLC filed a petition for writ of mandamus. The
relator is a non-party seeking protection from discovery in Trial Cause Number
CV1307335, Joe Alfred Izen, Jr. v. Liberty County Appraisal District, et al. Relator
seeks a writ compelling the Honorable Chap B. Cain III, Judge of the 253rd District
Court, to vacate his order of April 30, 2019, which denied relator’s motion to quash
deposition and subpoena duces tecum and ordered relator to produce a corporate
representative for deposition and subpoena duces tecum. We note our jurisdiction
1
over this matter and the parties. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West Supp.
2018).
Relator requests that the trial court’s discovery order be stayed as temporary
relief. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.10(a). The Court finds temporary relief is necessary to
prevent undue prejudice. It is ORDERED that the trial court’s order of April 30,
2019, in Trial Cause Number CV1307335 is STAYED until our Opinion issues or
until further order of this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.10(b). No bond is required
of the relator as a condition to any relief herein granted.
The responses of the real parties in interest, Joe Alfred Izen, Jr. and Liberty
County Appraisal District, are due June 10, 2019.
MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF GRANTED.
ORDER ENTERED May 30, 2019.
