Relator requests that enforcement proceedings in the trial court be stayed while this Court considers the mandamus petition. The Court finds temporary relief is necessary to prevent undue prejudice. It is ORDERED that the hearing on the Application for Show Cause Order and Motion for Contempt and Sanctions, and further enforcement of the trial court’s discovery orders of September 27, 2021, in Trial Cause Number 19-07-09268-CV are STAYED until our opinion issues or until further order of this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.10(b). No bond is required of Relator as a condition to any relief herein granted.

MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF GRANTED.
