COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG
IN RE FRAUDULENT HOSPITAL LIEN LITIGATION
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Hinojosa and Tijerina
Order Per Curiam
On October 23, 2019, this Court granted Relator’s emergency motions for stay in
appellate cause numbers 13-19-00545-CV and 13-19-00547-CV, and we ordered the trial
court to stay all pending proceedings. On October 28, 2019, Real Parties in Interest filed
motions in both appellate causes requesting that we reconsider our October 23, 2019
order and lift the stay, and they filed motions in both causes requesting that in the
alternative we clarify our October 23rd order.
This Court, having examined and fully considered the motions, is of the opinion
that the motions to reconsider our October 23, 2019 order and lift the stay should be
denied and that the motions for clarification should be granted. Accordingly, we DENY
the Real Parties in Interests’ motions requesting that we lift the stay in the trial court, and
we GRANT the Real Parties in Interests’ motions requesting that we clarify our order to
stay the proceedings in the trial court. We clarify that all proceedings in these causes are
hereby STAYED and remain on hold including legal deadlines applicable to any party
pending further order of the Court or resolution of these original proceedings. See TEX.
R. APP. P. 52.10(b) (“Unless vacated or modified, an order granting temporary relief is
effective until the case is finally decided.”); In re Geomet Recycling LLC, 578 S.W.3d 82,
91 (Tex. 2019) (orig. proceeding) (explaining that § 51.014(b) “contains no exceptions to
its mandatory stay of ‘all other proceedings in the trial court pending resolution of that
appeal’”).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
29th day of October, 2019.
