In re Jeffrey Kittle and Kittle Property Group, Inc.
234th District Court of Harris County, Trial court case number: 2023-37572
ORDER
TERRY ADAMS, JUDGE
On February 19, 2024, relators Jeffrey Kittle and Kittle Property Group filed a petition for writ of mandamus, complaining of the trial court's February 13, 2024 order that compels Jeffrey Kittle's deposition. Relators also filed an emergency motion to stay the trial court's order. Because we are of the tentative opinion that relators are entitled to the relief sought or that a serious question concerning the relief requires further consideration, we grant relators' emergency motion and stay the trial court's February 13, 2024 order compelling Jeffrey Kittle's deposition. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(b), 52.10(b). This stay of the trial court's order is effective until the case in this Court is finally decided or the Court otherwise orders the stay lifted. Any party may file a motion for reconsideration of the stay. See id. 52.10(c).
Further, the Court requests that the real party in interest respond to the petition for writ of mandamus. See id. 52.8(b). It is ordered that the response of any interested party, if any, shall be due no later than 20 days from the date of this order.
It is so ORDERED.
