ORDER
On December 16, 2020, the trial court signed an interlocutory order, which
identifies a controlling question of law that, if resolved now, may materially advance
the ultimate resolution of the lawsuit should this Court decide to grant the request
and allow the matter to be argued by interlocutory appeal. See Tex. Civ. Prac. &
Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(d) (Supp.); see also Tex. R. Civ. P. 168. On December
29, 2020, Entergy Services, LLC (“Entergy”) asked this Court for permission to
appeal the interlocutory order the trial court signed on December 16, 2020. See Tex.

R. App. P. 28.3(a). The remaining parties in the case, David Woollen and Wayne
Hill, did not respond to Entergy’s request. See Tex. R. App. P. 28.3(f).
The Court grants Entergy’s petition seeking review through a permissive
appeal of the trial court’s December 16, 2020 order. See Tex. R. App. P. 28.3(k). We
deem the notice of appeal to have been filed as of the date the Court renders this
Order. Id. The record is due February 8, 2021. The brief of the appellant is due
twenty days after the record is filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). The appellees’ brief
is due twenty days after the appellant files their brief. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(b).
The Clerk of the Court shall file a copy of this Order with the trial court’s clerk. See
Tex. R. App. P. 28.3(k).
