In re Jeffrey Kittle, The Vireo Apartments, LP, and Kittle Property Group, Inc.
234th District Court of Harris County, No. 2023-37572
ORDER ON MOTION FOR EMERGENCY STAY
Terry Adams Judge
On June 21, 2024, relators Jeffrey Kittle, The Vireo Apartments, LP, and Kittle Property Group, Inc. filed a petition for writ of mandamus in our Court complaining of the trial court's June 10, 2024 order that compels them to provide net worth discovery and purportedly no later than June 24, 2024-although that deadline is not stated in the trial court's order. 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 June 10, 2024 order compelling relators to provide net worth discovery. 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 15 days from the date of this order.
It is so ORDERED.
