                                     ORDER

      On April 8, 2021, the appellants, D.R. Horton-Texas, Ltd. and D.R. Horton,

Inc., (collectively “D.R. Horton”) filed an opposed motion to stay district court

proceedings pending completion of the appeal. On January 19, 2021, the trial court

signed an order denying a motion to abate and compel arbitration. D.R. Horton

perfected an accelerated appeal from the trial court’s order. See Tex. Civ. Prac. &

Rem. Code Ann. §§ 51.016, 171.098(a)(1).

                                        1
       When an accelerated appeal from an interlocutory order is perfected, we may

make such orders as are necessary to preserve the parties’ rights until disposition of

the appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 29.3. After reviewing the motion, we find that temporary

orders are necessary to preserve the parties’ rights until disposition of the appeal. It

is ORDERED that all trial court proceedings are STAYED until our Opinion issues

or until further order of this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 29.3; see also Tex. R. App.

P. 29.5.

      ORDER ENTERED April 20, 2021.
