Fourth Court of Appeals
                                        San Antonio, Texas
                                                March 20, 2024

                                            No. 04-23-00779-CV

                           IN RE TEXAS MEDICAL LIABILITY TRUST

                                      Original Mandamus Proceeding 1

                                                    ORDER

        In accordance with this court’s opinion of this date, we conditionally grant Relator’s
petition for writ of mandamus.

        We ORDER the trial court to do the following within thirty days of the date of this order:

        (1) vacate its August 10, 2023 Order Regarding the Deposition of Barbara C. Barnett, and

        (2) render an order quashing the deposition of Barbara C. Barnett.

After the trial court vacates its August 10, 2023 order, our August 24, 2023 stay will be moot.

       We tax costs of court against David J. Freeman, M.D. Our writ will issue only if we are
informed that the trial court has failed to comply with this order.

        It is so ORDERED on March 20, 2024.

                                                                      _____________________________
                                                                      Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 20th day of March, 2024.

                                                                      _____________________________
                                                                      Tommy Stolhandske, Clerk of Court
