        IN RE TEXAS WINDSTORM INSURANCE ASSOCIATION

________________________________________________________________________

                    On Appeal from the 136th District Court
                          Jefferson County, Texas
                         Trial Cause No. D-201,392
________________________________________________________________________

                                   ORDER

      Texas Windstorm Insurance Association filed a petition for writ of

mandamus. Dolores Gonzalez is the real party in interest in the proceeding before us

here. Relator, Texas Windstorm Insurance Association, seeks a writ compelling the

Judge of the 136th District Court to vacate the trial court’s November 2, 2018 Order

Denying Defendant’s Motion for Protection and Compelling the Deposition of Texas

Windstorm Insurance Association’s Corporate Representative. We note our

                                         1
jurisdiction over this matter and the parties. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221

(West Supp. 2018).

      Relator requests that the trial court’s order compelling discovery 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

November 2, 2018 Order 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.

      MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF GRANTED.

      ORDER ENTERED December 6, 2018.
                                                    PER CURIAM
