IN RE SPRINT SAND AND CLAY, LLC, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
11th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2018-66557
ORDER
On June 18, 2019, relator Sprint Sand and Clay, LLC, filed a petition for writ
of mandamus asking this court to compel the Honorable Kristen Brauchle Hawkins,
Judge of the 11th District Court, in Harris County, Texas, to vacate her order dated
June 11, 2019 which grants in part and denies in part plaintiffs’1 motions to compel
(“June 11 order”).
Relator has also filed a motion for temporary relief, asking this court to stay
the June 11 order pending a decision on the petition for writ of mandamus. 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 in
part and issue the following order:
We ORDER the June 11 order STAYED only to the extent that it compels
relator to produce documents in response to (1) Request for Production No. 1, (1)
(2) Request for Production No. 154, or (3) any other request for production seeking
documents from 2000 to the present. The June 11 order is stayed to this extent 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 real parties-in-interest, John Earl Ellisor et al.,
to file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus on or before July 3, 2019. See
Tex. R. App. P. 52.4.
