ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS
165th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2014-64733-A
ORDER
On October 14, 2019, relator Microwave Networks Inc. filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (Supp.); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Ursula Hall, presiding judge of the 165th District Court of Harris County, to: (1) vacate her October 7, 2019 order denying MNI's motion to dissolve the writ of garnishment, and (2) to dissolve such writ.
Relator has also filed a motion for temporary relief, asking our court to stay proceedings in the garnishment action pending our decision on the petition. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(b), 52.10.
It appears from the facts stated in the petition and motion that relator's request for relief requires further consideration and that relator will be prejudiced unless immediate temporary relief is granted. We therefore GRANT relator's motion in part and issue the following order:
We ORDER all proceedings in the underlying garnishment action (Cause No. 2014-64733-A), including the Bank's answer date, STAYED until a final decision by this court on relator's petition for writ of mandamus, or until further order of this court.
We further ORDER that Microwave Networks, Inc. is ENJOINED, until further order of this court, from dissipating or transferring assets to avoid satisfaction of the judgment in Cause No. 2014-64733, however, this shall not interfere with the Microwave Networks, Inc's use, transfer, conveyance or dissipation of assets in the normal course of business.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Jewell, Bourliot, and Zimmerer.
