                                     ORDER

      Guardian Angel Service Dogs, Inc., now known as Service Dogs by Warren

Retrievers, Inc., filed a petition for writ of mandamus. The relator is the defendant

in Cause No. A-192,645, Ryan McLeod and Tara McLeod v. Guardian Angel

Service Dogs. Relator seeks a writ compelling the Honorable Bob Wortham, Judge

of the 58th District Court, to vacate its order of January 13, 2013, and enforce a

contractual forum selection clause. We note our jurisdiction over this matter and

the parties. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004).

                                         1
      Relator alleges that prejudice will result if discovery and other proceedings

occur before the issues raised in the petition for writ of mandamus can be resolved.

      The Court finds temporary relief is necessary to prevent undue prejudice. It

is ORDERED that all further proceedings in Cause No. A-192,645 are STAYED

until our Opinion issues or until further order of this Court. See Tex. R. App. P.

52.10(b). No bond is required of the relator as a condition to any relief herein

granted.

      The response of the real parties in interest, Ryan McLeod and Tara McLeod,

is due May 24, 2013, at 5:00 p.m.

      MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF GRANTED.

      ORDER ENTERED May 14, 2013.
