ORDER
PER CURIAM

See Tex. R. App. P. 29.3 ("[T]he appellate court may make any temporary orders necessary to preserve the parties' rights until disposition of the appeal[.]"). To preserve the status quo and best preserve the parties' rights during this appeal's pendency, we grant appellees' motion and order that the trial court's temporary injunction is reinstated until the disposition of this appeal.

Land Office v. City of Houston, No. 03-20-00376-CV, 2020 WL 4726695, at *2 (Tex. App-Austin July 31, 2020, order) (per curiam) ("[A]t this preliminary stage, our task is to determine whether a temporary order will best 'preserve the parties' rights until the disposition of the appeal,' not to determine the merits of the appeal.").
