SELEDONIO CONDE AND ALL OCCUPANTS, Appellants, v. MANUEL GUADALUPE MARROQUIN, Appellee.
On appeal from County Court at Law No. 5 of Nueces County, Texas.
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Benavides and Silva
ORDER
PER CURIAM
On June 24, 2021, appellant Seledonio Conde filed an "Opposed Emergency Motion for Temporary Relief," requesting that this Court order the trial court to set a supersedeas bond, and if necessary, stay or abate the issuance of any writ of possession in the time required for a bond to be set. We issued a stay for fifteen (15) days to allow the trial court to set the bond.
On July 12, 2021, the trial court held a hearing and set the supersedeas bond at $8, 000.00. Conde has notified this Court that he was under the mistaken impression that only a portion of the bond was required and cannot pay the bond amount. On July 15, 2021, Conde filed a "Motion to Reduce Supersedeas Bond" with the trial court, which remains pending. On July 20, 2021, stating he had not been copied on the motion to reduce bond, Marroquin filed a "Motion for Writ of Possession," which also remains pending before the trial court.
After examining and fully considering appellant's motion, we continue appellant's motion insofar as we STAY the issuance of any writ of possession for a period of thirty (30) days to allow the trial court time to make its rulings. During this period, the trial court is allowed to proceed forward in regard to the motion for reduction of bond. All matters contained within the "Opposed Emergency Motion for Temporary Relief" are carried with the case.
