ORDER
PER CURIAM
On January 12, 2023, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus and an emergency motion to stay pending final resolution of the petition for writ of mandamus. This court believes a serious question concerning the mandamus relief sought requires further consideration. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(B). RESPONDENT AND REAL PARTY IN INTEREST MAY FILE A RESPONSE TO THE PETITION IN THIS COURT no later than February 2, 2023. Any such response must conform to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.4.
Relator's emergency motion for temporary stay is GRANTED IN PART as follows:
1. All pretrial settings requiring relator's in-person appearance are STAYED pending further order from this court. Pretrial settings that do not require relator's in-person appearance may proceed.
2. The January 23, 2023 trial setting is STAYED pending further order from this court.
It is so ORDERED.
