John DEVILBISS, Appellant v. Marjorie BURCH, Appellee
From the County Court at Law No. 3, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2016CV04843
Honorable Tommy Stolhandske, Judge Presiding
ORDER
This is an appeal in an eviction action. Appellant has filed a motion asking this court "to halt the eviction and writ of possession." In essence, appellant is asking that we stay the county court's judgment pending our determination of the appeal. However, appellant did not file the requisite supersedeas bond as required by the Texas Property Code. See TEX. PROP. CODE ANN. § 24.007(a) (stating that "A judgment of a county court may not under any circumstances be stayed pending appeal unless, within 10 days of the signing of the judgment, the appellant files a supersedeas bond in an amount set by the county court."). Accordingly, we DENY appellant's motion. See id.
