If a proper certification is not filed, relator's petition for a writ of mandamus will be denied.
Further, relator has filed a "Motion to Stay Proceedings Pending Relator's Petition for Writ of Mandamus," requesting that we stay the trial court proceedings. The motion is granted. The trial court proceedings in cause no. 2012-01222J, In the Interest of E.A.P., a Child, in the 313th District Court of Harris County, are stayed. The stay is effective until disposition of the petition for a writ of mandamus or further order of this Court.
