DONOVAN MITTELSTED, Appellant v. DENISE MCCLURE MERIWETHER AND DARLA MCCLURE SANDS, Appellees
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 3 Brazoria County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. PR39333.
Panel Consists of Jewell, Zimmerer, and Hassan Justices.
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
Before this court is an emergency motion filed by appellant to stay trial court proceedings in order to protect funds on deposit with the trial court's registry. The motion states, in relevant part, that appellant intended those funds to be held as a deposit in lieu of a supersedeas bond, and unless trial court proceedings are stayed, the deposited funds will be released to another party while this appeal is pending.
Appellant has contemporaneously filed another motion, titled as a motion to review denial of request for supersedeas bond, seeking a substantive review of the trial court's actions regarding those funds.
The court finds a temporary stay is warranted while appellant's emergency motion is considered. Accordingly, proceedings associated with this case in the trial court are hereby STAYED, including actions to release funds appellant deposited with the trial court's registry. Appellees are directed to file a response to appellant's emergency motion within 7 days of the date of this order.
