Appellees

On Appeal from the 266th District Court

Trial Court Cause No. CV32823

ORDER
Appellant has filed in this court a motion to stay. Appellant indicates that a
second mediation session would be beneficial and that Appellees are not opposed to
the stay. The Honorable Judge Jerry Ray has agreed to mediate this case sometime
during October 2019. We grant the motion to stay and abate the appeal so that the
parties may continue their efforts to settle the controversy.
This appeal is now abated pending mediation, which is to be conducted on or
before October 31, 2019, with Judge Jerry Ray. The parties are instructed to notify
this court of the mediation results within ten days of the completion of mediation. If
mediation fully resolves the issues in this appeal, the parties shall file a joint motion
in accordance with TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2).
