RICHARD GEHRKE AND PACIFIC COMPANIES, INC., Appellants
V.
MERRITT HAWKINS AND ASSOCIATES, LLC, Appellee
On Appeal from the 298th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-18-09562
ORDER
Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Evans, and Justice Brown
This is an interlocutory appeal from the trial court’s temporary injunction prohibiting
appellant Richard Gehrke from engaging in certain activities. Asserting Gehrke has violated the
temporary injunction on at least three separate occasions, appellee has filed a motion to enforce.
Appellee asks the Court to “initiate an enforcement proceeding” under rule of appellate
procedure 29.4 “and refer the proceeding to the trial court with instructions to hold” a show-
cause hearing. Gehrke and his co-appellant oppose the motion contesting the existence of any
admissible factual basis.
We GRANT the motion and REFER it to the trial court for an evidentiary hearing and a
determination of any appropriate relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 29.4.
We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of this order, appellee’s motion, and
appellants’ response to the Honorable Emily G. Tobolowsky, Presiding Judge of the 298th
Judicial District Court.
