Christopher Mango v. Jan Jarzabek

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas March 12, 2020 No. 04-20-00141-CV Christopher MANGO, Appellant v. Jan JARZABEK, Appellee From the County Court at Law No. 3, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2020CV00731 Honorable David J. Rodriguez, Judge Presiding ORDER This is an appeal of a final judgment of a county court in an eviction suit. Appellants have filed a document entitled “Stop Eviction Writ of Possession Notice” which we construe as a motion requesting that we stay the judgment of eviction. This court is not, however, authorized to stay the county court’s judgment pending this appeal under any circumstances “unless, within 10 days of the signing of the judgment, the appellant file[d] a supersedeas bond in an amount set by the county court.” See TEX. PROP. CODE ANN. § 24.007(a); see also TEX. R. CIV. P. 510.13. Because neither the clerk’s record nor the appellant’s motion reflects that a supersedeas bond was filed by appellants within ten (10) days of the judgment, we must DENY appellants’ motion to stay eviction. _________________________________ Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said court on this 12th day of March, 2020. ___________________________________ MICHAEL A.
