In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-00339-CV
IN RE RAMON C. HILL, SOVEREIGN ELECTRONICS, INC., AND SOVEREIGN
SECURITY SYSTEMS, INC., Relators
Original Proceeding from the 199th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 199-01308-2008
ORDER
Before the Court is relators’ petition for writ of mandamus. On April 1, 2014, the parties
assured this Court that this case was in the process of settlement. In an effort to ascertain the
status of the matter, the Clerk’s office contacted relators’ counsel’s office, but the calls were not
returned and were essentially ignored. The Texas Supreme Court rendered its decision in
Brookshire Bros., Ltd. v. Aldridge, No. 10-0846, 2014 WL 2994435, on July 3, 2014, a decision
relevant to this case, and a decision that the parties should address.
Accordingly, each party is hereby ORDERED to file a supplemental brief addressing
Brookshire and its application on or before Friday, July 11, 2014 by 5 p.m. Should any party
wish to respond to the other’s brief, that party may file a response on or before Monday, July 14,
2014 by 5 p.m. No extension of time will be granted.
