Order Per Curiam
Relator, the Office of the Attorney General of Texas (OAG), filed a petition for writ
of mandamus and motion for temporary stay in the above cause on March 9, 2020.
Through this original proceeding, relator seeks to compel the trial court to vacate or
otherwise withdraw its February 12, 2020 order releasing the OAG’s child support lien.
Through its motion for temporary relief, relator seeks to stay the February 12, 2020 order
pending resolution of this original proceeding.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the motion for temporary relief,
is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. The motion for temporary relief is
GRANTED and the February 12, 2020 order shall be STAYED pending further order of
this Court, or until the case is finally decided. 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.”).
The Court requests that the real parties in interest, T.L.D. or B.W.D., or any others
whose interest would be directly affected by the relief sought, file a response to the
petition for writ of mandamus on or before the expiration of ten days from the date of this
order. See id. R. 52.2, 52.4, 52.8.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
