Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas February 28, 2022 No. 04-22-00040-CV IN RE THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY AND PROTECTIVE SERVICES Original Mandamus Proceeding1 ORDER Sitting: Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice On January 20, 2022, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining of the trial court’s “Permanency Hearing Order After Final Order” rendered on January 20, 2022 and signed on February 4, 2022. Relator also filed a motion for temporary emergency relief asking this court to stay the order. On January 24, 2022, the real party in interest filed a response to both the petition and emergency motion and objected to the request for a stay. On January 28, 2022, relator filed an amended petition for writ of mandamus complaining of the same order. On February 15, 2022, we granted the motion to stay.

This court believes a serious question concerning the mandamus relief sought requires further consideration. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(b). The respondent and the real parties in interest may file a response to the amended petition in this court no later than March 15, 2022. Any such response must conform to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.4.

It is so ORDERED on February 28, 2022.
