Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-19-00502-CV
SHAMELYA ETIER, Appellant
V.
STAMPES, LLC, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 4
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. CC-19-02004-D
ORDER
Appellant appeals from the trial court’s April 22, 2019 judgment in a suit for forcible
detainer. Before the Court is appellant’s motion challenging the trial court’s May 2, 2019 order
setting the supersedeas bond. The purpose of a supersedeas bond is to suspend enforcement of
the judgment. See TEX. R. APP. P. 24.1. In a forcible detainer suit, a judgment may not be stayed
under any circumstances unless the appellant files a supersedeas bond in the amount set by the
trial court within ten days of the date the judgment is signed. See TEX. PROP. CODE ANN.
§ 24.007. Because appellant did not file a supersedeas bond within ten days of the date of the
judgment, this Court’s review of the amount of the supersedeas bond would be meaningless.
Accordingly, we DENY appellant’s motion as moot.
