Ava Vercher v. Walter Mortgage Company

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN





NO. 03-05-00247-CV





Ava Vercher, Appellant


v.


Walter Mortgage Company, Appellee






FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW OF BURNET COUNTY

NO. C2953, HONORABLE WILLIAM R. SAVAGE, JUDGE PRESIDING





O R D E R



                        Ava Vercher filed a motion to lower the supersedeas bond set by the trial court in this forcible entry and detainer action. See Tex. R. App. P. 24.4(a)(1). Ancillary to that motion, she filed a motion for temporary relief to prevent the issuance of a writ of possession in favor of Walter Mortgage Company while this Court reviewed her motion. We granted her motion for temporary relief and stayed the trial court order of June 8, 2005, setting the amount of supersedeas and authorizing the issuance of a writ of possession on June 21, 2005, if the supersedeas had been posted. Id. 24.4(c); see Vercher v. Walter Mortgage Co., No. 03-05-00247-CV, slip op. (Tex. App.—Austin June 17, 2005, order). We have reviewed the motion to lower supersedeas, the response, and the record and have determined that relief should be denied. Accordingly, the amount of the supersedeas bond remains that set by the trial court in its June 8, 2005 order. Appellant has twenty days from the date of this order to post supersedeas in compliance with the trial court’s order. The stay issued by this Court on June 17, 2005, will dissolve on the same twentieth day if no supersedeas has been posted; the trial court is free to issue a writ of possession at any time subsequent to that date. We ask that the trial court notify this Court if supersedeas is posted or if a writ of possession has been issued.

                        It is ordered August 11, 2005.
