IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-18-00207-CV
IN RE DPA'S ASSIST THE OFFICER FOUNDATION, INC.
Original Proceeding
ORDER
DPA’S Assist the Officer Foundation, Inc. petitioned this Court to issue a writ of
mandamus directing Respondent, the Honorable Wayne Bridewell, Judge of the 249th
Judicial District Court, to vacate his order signed on May 31, 2018 granting Katrina
Ahrens’ Motion to Compel Production of Documents. On June 1, 2018, Judge Bridewell
recused himself in the underlying case and requested the Administrative Judge to assign
another judge. On June 5, 2018, the Honorable David Evans, the Administrate Judge
ordered that the underlying case be transferred from the 249th Judicial District Court to
the 18th District Court, the Honorable John Neill, presiding.
By orders issued August 22, 2018 and October 17, 2018, we abated this proceeding
to the newly assigned trial court judge for consideration of Ahrens’ Motion to Compel
Production of Documents. In a Joint Status Report filed on October 31, 2018, we have
been informed by the parties that Judge Neill found the order rendered by Judge
Bridewell on Ahrens’ Motion to Compel Production of Documents to be “in all things,
appropriate,” and declined “to amend, reverse or change in any manner, said order.”
In light of Judge Neill’s ruling, the parties request that Ahrens be permitted to file
a response by November 9, 2018 to DPA’S Assist the Officer Foundation, Inc.’s petition
for writ of mandamus.
Accordingly, this proceeding is reinstated, the parties’ request is granted, and
Ahrens’ response to the petition for writ of mandamus is due November 9, 2018.
