is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. The motion for temporary relief is GRANTED and the February 12, 2020 order shall be STAYED pending further order of

this Court, or until the case is finally decided. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.10(b) (“Unless

vacated or modified, an order granting temporary relief is effective until the case is finally

decided.”).

The Court requests that the real parties in interest, T.L.D. or B.W.D., or any others

whose interest would be directly affected by the relief sought, file a response to the

petition for writ of mandamus on or before the expiration of ten days from the date of this

order. See id. R. 52.2, 52.4, 52.8.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
