                              Original Proceeding
                 253rd District Court of Liberty County, Texas
                         Trial Cause No. CV1307335
________________________________________________________________________

                                     ORDER

      Jay Management Company, LLC filed a petition for writ of mandamus. The

relator is a non-party seeking protection from discovery in Trial Cause Number

CV1307335, Joe Alfred Izen, Jr. v. Liberty County Appraisal District, et al. Relator

seeks a writ compelling the Honorable Chap B. Cain III, Judge of the 253rd District

Court, to vacate his order of April 30, 2019, which denied relator’s motion to quash

deposition and subpoena duces tecum and ordered relator to produce a corporate

representative for deposition and subpoena duces tecum. We note our jurisdiction
                                         1
over this matter and the parties. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West Supp.

2018).

      Relator requests that the trial court’s discovery order be stayed as temporary

relief. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.10(a). The Court finds temporary relief is necessary to

prevent undue prejudice. It is ORDERED that the trial court’s order of April 30,

2019, in Trial Cause Number CV1307335 is 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 responses of the real parties in interest, Joe Alfred Izen, Jr. and Liberty

County Appraisal District, are due June 10, 2019.

      MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF GRANTED.

      ORDER ENTERED May 30, 2019.
