ORDER
Before Justices Whitehill, Molberg, and Nowell
We REINSTATE this appeal.
This is an accelerated appeal from a temporary injunction. By order dated February 14,
2019, we lifted the automatic stay imposed by section 51.014(b) of the Texas Civil Practice and
Remedies Code and abated this appeal to allow the parties to conduct discovery related to the
alleged violations of the temporary injunction and to allow the trial court to conduct an
evidentiary hearing on appellants’ motion to enforce the temporary injunction.
Before the Court is appellants’ March 15, 2019 agreed motion seeking a thirty-day
extension for the trial court to conduct the enforcement hearing and grant in writing any
appropriate relief. We GRANT the motion.
We ORDER the trial court to conduct the hearing and grant in writing any appropriate relief
by April 25, 2019.
We ORDER Felicia Pitre, Dallas County District Clerk, to file, by April 30, 2019, a
supplemental clerk’s record containing any signed order on appellants’ emergency motion to enforce
or written notification that the trial court did not sign an order on the motion.
We DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to send a copy of this order to the Honorable Emily
Tobolowsky, Presiding Judge of the 298th Judicial District Court; Ms. Pitre; and all parties.
We ABATE this appeal to allow the trial court to comply with this Court’s order. The appeal
will be reinstated on April 30, 2019 or when the Court receives the requested supplemental clerk’s
record, whichever occurs sooner.
