Opinion

Order entered May 17, 2019

In The

Court of Appeals

Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-19-00502-CV

SHAMELYA ETIER, Appellant V.

STAMPES, LLC, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 4 Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. CC-19-02004-D

ORDER

Appellant appeals from the trial court’s April 22, 2019 judgment in a suit for forcible

detainer. Before the Court is appellant’s motion challenging the trial court’s May 2, 2019 order setting the supersedeas bond. The purpose of a supersedeas bond is to suspend enforcement of the judgment. See TEX. R. APP. P. 24.1. In a forcible detainer suit, a judgment may not be stayed under any circumstances unless the appellant files a supersedeas bond in the amount set by the trial court within ten days of the date the judgment is signed. See TEX. PROP. CODE ANN. § 24.007. Because appellant did not file a supersedeas bond within ten days of the date of the judgment, this Court’s review of the amount of the supersedeas bond would be meaningless. Accordingly, we DENY appellant’s motion as moot.
