COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

GOLIAD COUNTY, TEXAS, Appellant,

v.

EUGENE CALVIN BONNET, Appellee.

On appeal from the 24th District Court of Goliad County, Texas.

ORDER Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Longoria and Perkes Order Per Curiam

Appellant, Goliad County, Texas, has filed a motion to stay all trial court

proceedings in this case. Appellant has filed an interlocutory appeal from the denial

of a plea to the jurisdiction. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014(a)(8)

(West, Westlaw through 2017 1st C.S.). Appellant asserts the stay is statutorily

mandated because appellant filed its plea and requested a hearing within 180 days from

the date it filed its original answer. See id. § 51.014(c)(2). The Court, having examined and fully considered the matters on file herein, is of

the opinion that appellant is entitled to a stay of the trial court proceedings. Accordingly,

we grant appellant’s motion to stay and we order the trial court proceedings stayed

pending resolution of this appeal or further order of this Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED. PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the 15th day of April, 2019.
