NUMBER 13-21-00309-CV COURT OF APPEALS THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG

IN RE CAMERON COUNTY

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.

ORDER Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Hinojosa and Silva Order Per Curiam On September 24, 2021, relator Cameron County filed a petition for writ of mandamus and request for emergency stay. By petition for writ of mandamus, relator seeks to compel the trial court to set aside an order disqualifying relator’s counsel, Juan A. Gonzalez. By request for emergency stay, relator seeks to stay the trial court proceedings pending resolution of this original proceeding.

The Court, having examined and fully considered the request for emergency stay, is of the opinion that the request for emergency stay should be granted. Accordingly, we grant the relator’s request for emergency stay and we order the trial court proceedings to be stayed pending resolution of this petition for writ of mandamus. 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 party in interest, Cameron County Sheriff Eric Garza, 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.

PER CURIAM Delivered and filed on the 27th day of September, 2021.
