       On December 19, 2022, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus and an emergency

requires further consideration. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(b). Respondent and real party in interest
may file a response to the petition in this court no later than January 10, 2023. Any such
response must conform to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.4.

         Relator’s motion for stay is GRANTED IN PART. The following decretal paragraphs
of the trial court’s November 7, 2022 “Order on November 7, 2022 Hearings” are STAYED
pending further order from this court:

        WCISD Board Member Melissa Pena’ [sic] Motion to Quash and for Protection from
discovery is denied.

      WCISD Board Member Santiago Salinas’ Motion to Quash and for Protection from
Discovery is denied.

       Real party in interest’s Motion to Compel Salinas and Pena Depositions is granted. It is
ordered that the depositions be conducted in 2022 and before the mediation.

           It is so ORDERED on December 21, 2022.
