BRIDGET HUNTER, Appellant v. BEL MANDALAY LIMITED PARTNER D/B/A MANDALAY AT SHADOW LAKE, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No 3 Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1138391
ORDER
Appellant Bridget Hunter appeals the county court's judgment signed October 17, 2019 awarding possession of her residence to appellee in a forcible detainer action. See Tex. Prop. Code § 24.007 (authorizing appeal on issue of possession for premises "used for residential purposes only"). The judgment ordered that appellee shall recover the premises at issue and that writ of possession shall issue unless execution of the judgment is stayed by posting a supersedeas bond in the amount of $10,450.00. On October 29, 2019, appellant filed a motion in this court requesting a stay of the issuance of a writ of possession.
It appears from the facts stated in the emergency motion that appellant's rights will be prejudiced unless immediate temporary relief is granted. See Tex. R. App. P. 24.4(c). Accordingly, we grant appellant's motion and issue the following order.
We ORDER that enforcement of the trial court's supersedeas order and final judgment is stayed in trial court cause number 1138391, styled Bel Mandalay Limited Partner DBA Mandalay at Shadow Lake v. Bridgette Hunter and All Other Occupants. Enforcement of the order and judgment is stayed for 14 days from the date of this order.
We request that appellee file a response within 7 days from the date of this order to appellant's emergency motion to review the supersedeas bond and appellant's motion to stay the writ of possession.
PER CURIAM Panel Consists of Justices Jewell, Bourliot, and Zimmerer.
