Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice H. Todd McCray, Justice Velia J. Meza, Justice

On January 23, 2025, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus, and later, a supplement to her petition for writ of mandamus. The real parties in interest filed a response to which relator replied. We CONDITIONALLY GRANT the petition for writ of mandamus and ORDER the Honorable Cynthia Marie Chapa to, within fifteen days of this order: (1) vacate the Second Order Granting New Trial, signed on April 10, 2025; and (2) sign a final judgment on the jury’s verdict. We are confident that the trial court will promptly comply; our writ will issue only if we are notified that it does not.

It is so ORDERED on July 16, 2025.
