IN RE STATE OF TEXAS, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
County Civil Court at Law No. 3
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1049234
ORDER
On November 30, 2018, relator State of Texas, filed a petition for writ of
mandamus asking this court to order the Honorable Linda Storey, Judge of the
County Civil Court at Law No. 3, in Harris County, Texas, to vacate her order dated
October 30, 2018, granting the motion for new trial (“the new trial order”).
Relator has also filed a motion asking this court to stay the new trial order and
the trial set for January 14, 2019. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(b), 52.10.
It appears from the facts stated in the petition and motion that relator’s request
for relief requires further consideration and that relator will be prejudiced unless
immediate temporary relief is granted. We therefore GRANT relator’s motion and
issue the following order:
We ORDER the new trial order and the trial set for January 14, 2019,
STAYED until a final decision by this court on relator’s petition for writ of
mandamus, or until further order of this court.
In addition, the court requests Fairfield Baptist Church, the real party-in-
interest, to file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus on or before
December 13, 2018. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.4.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Donovan, Wise, and Jewell.
