TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-14-00223-CV

In re Joe Jones

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM WILLIAMSON COUNTY

ORDER

PER CURIAM

Relator Joe Jones has filed a petition for writ of mandamus and motion for emergency

relief from the trial court’s ruling requiring Jones to appear for deposition on April 15, 2014 and

produce documents. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8, 52.10. Because the trial court orally ruled on the

matters before us during a hearing held on April 3, 2014, we are unable to review the merits of

Jones’s request for relief without the reporter’s record from this hearing. Accordingly, we grant

relator’s motion for emergency relief and stay the trial court’s ruling, including any requirement

that Jones appear and provide testimony or produce documents, pending further order of this Court.

The Court orders the real party in interest to file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus on

or before April 18, 2014.

It is so ordered April 11, 2014.
