FROM THE 459TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-GN-22-002569, THE HONORABLE AMY CLARK MEACHUM, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellees, Mirabel Voe, individually and as parent and next friend of Antonio
Voe, a minor, and Wanda Roe, individually and as parent and next friend of Tommy Roe, a
minor, have filed an emergency motion for temporary injunctive relief pursuant to Rule 29.3.
Appellees ask the Court to grant temporary relief and reinstate the trial court’s July 8, 2022 order
granting their application for a temporary injunction. To preserve the status quo while the Court
considers the motion for temporary relief, pending further order of this Court, we temporarily
order that the trial court’s July 8, 2022 “Order Granting Plaintiffs Voes’ and Roes’ Applications
for Temporary Injunction Against Jamie Masters, in Her Official Capacity as the Commissioner
of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, and the Texas Department of Family
and Protective Services” is reinstated. See Tex. R. App. P. 29.3 (“[T]he appellate court may
make any temporary orders necessary to preserve the parties’ rights until disposition of the
appeal . . . .”). The Court requests that appellants file a response to the motion for temporary
relief on or before August 1, 2022.
It is ordered on July 20, 2022.
