We deny all other relief without prejudice. The writ will issue only in the event Respondent fails to comply. Our prior order granting emergency relief and a partial stay of the trial court proceedings in the 409th District Court is hereby vacated in accordance with the opinion of this Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 9TH DAY OF DECEMBER 2024.
