THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG
IN RE CAMERON COUNTY
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
ORDER
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Hinojosa and Silva
Order Per Curiam
On October 19, 2021, this Court handed down its opinion in this case. See In re
Cameron County, No. 13-21-00309-CV, 2021 WL 4849528, at *1 (Tex. App.—Corpus
Christi–Edinburg Oct. 19, 2021, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.). On November 2, 2021,
relator Cameron County filed a motion for en banc reconsideration and request for stay.
This Court requested that the real party in interest Cameron County Sheriff Eric Garza
file a response to this motion on or before November 22, 2021. However, the parties to
this original proceeding have now filed a “Notice of Rule 11 Settlement Agreement and
Joint Request for Thirty Day Abatement.” According to this motion, the parties have
entered a settlement agreement which affects the disposition of this matter. They request
an abatement of this original proceeding for thirty days in order to effectuate that
agreement.
The Court having examined and fully considered the request for abatement, is of
the opinion that it should be granted. Accordingly, we grant the joint motion, and we abate
this matter for a period of thirty days from the date of this order. We direct the parties to
file an appropriate motion regarding the disposition of this matter within seven days after
the expiration of the abatement period.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed on the
17th day of November, 2021.
