Luis Alberto Vences v. Marissa Garcia Robledo, Evangelina Robledo, Andrew Emerito Costilla, James Stephen Sustaita, and Mary Prado

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-19-00858-CV
Luis Alberto Vences, Appellant
v.
Marissa Garcia Robledo, Evangelina Robledo, Andrew Emerito Costilla,
James Stephen Sustaita, and Mary Prado, Appellees
FROM THE 353RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-FM-08-001000, THE HONORABLE DUSTIN M. HOWELL, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Luis Alberto Vences attempts to appeal from a district court’s order continuing a
child-support enforcement hearing. Specifically, he asks “that the enforcement actions [against
him] be stayed pending the results of the appeal in Cause No. 03-19-00828.” Cause
No. 03-19-00828-CV is Vences’s appeal from the district court’s denial of his petition for bill of
review challenging a 2009 order awarding child support to Marissa Garcia Robledo. That 2009
order serves as the basis of the enforcement action Vences now seeks to stay. We recently
disposed of cause No. 03-19-00828-CV, affirming the district court’s denial of Vences’s petition
for bill of review, see Vences v. Robledo, No. 03-19-00828-CV (Tex. App.—Austin Aug. 27, 2020,
no pet. h.) (mem. op.), and that appeal is no longer pending before this Court. As such, any stay
of the enforcement proceedings pending the outcome of that appeal would have no effect on the
parties. See Heckman v. Williamson County, 369 S.W.3d 137, 162 (Tex. 2012). Accordingly,
we must dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Texas Quarter Horse Ass’n
v. American Legion Dep’t, 496 S.W.3d 175, 182 (Tex. App.—Austin 2016, no pet.). We
therefore dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).
