Again, the power to grant a temporary injunction to prevent damages which may flow to a litigant pending disposition of its appeal rests exclusively with the district judge. In re Dahlheimer, No. 05-17-00556-CV, 2017 Tex. App. LEXIS 5289, at *2 (Tex. App.—Dallas June 8, 2017, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.); EMW Mfg. Co., 724 S.W.2d at 426. Accordingly, we deny Castleman's petition for a writ of injunction pending disposition of the appeal in 07-20-00312-CV.

See Ott v. Bell, 606 S.W.2d 955, 957 (Tex. Civ. App.—Waco 1980, no writ). An injunction will not lie in the courts of appeals merely to preserve the status quo pending appeal or to prevent damage to an appellant. EMW Mfg. Co. v. Lemons, 724 S.W.2d 425, 426 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1987, orig. proceeding); accord In re Dahlheimer, No. 05-17-00556-CV, 2017 WL 2472842, at *1 (Tex.

Galveston County Employees Credit Union, 576 S.W.2d 99, 99-100 (Tex. Civ. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1978, no writ)).
