This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 13-05-11980-DCVAJA, styled County of Dimmit v. Murphy Exploration & Production Co., et al., pending in the 365th Judicial District Court, Dimmit County, Texas, the Honorable Amado J. Abascal, III presiding.
ORDER
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Irene Rios, Justice
On June 22, 2018, relators filed a petition for writ of mandamus and an opposed emergency motion to stay the trial court proceedings. 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 party in interest may file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus in this court no later than July 10, 2018. Any such response must conform to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.4.
Relators' request for a partial stay is GRANTED. With one exception, all proceedings in the underlying case are STAYED pending final resolution of the petition for writ of mandamus. However, the June 27, 2018 hearing on Shamrock Energy Corporation's motion(s) for summary judgment, any documents filed through that hearing pertaining to the motion(s) for summary judgment, and the trial court's ruling on the motion(s) for summary judgment are NOT STAYED.
It is so ORDERED on June 22, 2018.
