                                     ORDER

      Sheryl Johnson-Todd filed a motion to stay all trial court hearings, orders, or

actions to enforce the trial court’s February 2, 2015 temporary injunction, or to

sanction any party or attorney for alleged disobedience of the temporary injunction

during the pendency of this interlocutory appeal from the order granting a

temporary injunction. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(a)(4) (West

2015). The appellee, John S. Morgan, filed a response.

                                         1
      “While an appeal from a temporary order is pending, only the appellate court

in which the appeal is pending may enforce the order.” Tex. R. App. P. 29.4. 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 and response, we find

that temporary orders are necessary to preserve the parties’ rights until disposition

of the appeal. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(b).

      It is ORDERED that all trial court hearings, orders, or actions to enforce the

trial court’s February 2, 2015 temporary injunction, or to sanction any party or

attorney for alleged disobedience of the temporary injunction during the pendency

of this interlocutory appeal in Cause No. 126,841 are STAYED until our Opinion

issues or until this Court refers the matter to the trial court for enforcement. See

Tex. R. App. P. 29.3; see also Tex. R. App. P. 29.4.
