In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-21-00095-CV
IN RE BILL ATER AND CODY WYRICK
Original Mandamus Proceeding
Before Morriss, C.J., Burgess and Stevens, JJ.
ORDER
On October 5, 2021, Bill Ater and Cody Wyrick (collectively Relators) filed a motion for
emergency relief pending a decision by this Court on their petition for a writ of mandamus. The
motion for emergency relief asks this Court to stay the trial court’s October 1, 2021, orders
compelling Relators to, among other things, divulge alleged attorney-client privileged
communications in depositions beginning October 6 at 11:00 a.m. This Court has asked real
parties in interest to provide a response to Relators’ petition for a writ of mandamus.
After reviewing Relators’ motion for emergency relief, this Court is of the opinion that
the temporary relief requested should be granted and that the October 1, 2021, orders of the trial
court referenced above should be stayed pending the ruling of this Court on Relators’ petition for
a writ of mandamus.
Therefore, the trial court’s October 1, 2021, orders are hereby stayed pending the ruling
of this Court on the mandamus petition before us in this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
