                      Trial Court Cause No. 429-00005-2019

                                       ORDER
                 Before Justices Osborne, Pedersen, III, and Goldstein1

       Before the Court is relator’s April 9, 2021 petition for writ of mandamus.

We request that real party in interest and respondent file a response, if any, that

addresses the specific issue of relator’s complaints regarding the trial court’s

 J., Goldstein, would not request a response but would deny the petition for writ of mandamus
without prejudice to refiling because the docket sheet entries relied upon by relator are inherently

Latimer, No. 05-14-01099-CV, 2014 WL 4288886, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Aug. 29, 2014,
orig. proceeding).
“significant impairment.” The response shall be filed within TWENTY DAYS of

this order.

      Also before the Court is relator’s July 12, 2021 motion to give precedence to

the petition for writ of mandamus. We GRANT the motion.
