On March 22, 2023, relators Elam Realty, LP; JCRB Buckner Realty, LP; JCRB Longview Realty, LP; Cristino Ruvalcaba, Jr., as Trustee of the Juan Carlos Ruvalcaba Irrevocable Trust; Elam Meat Market, LLC; Longview Meat Market, LLC; and Supermercado Latino, LLC filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relators ask this court to compel the Honorable Julia Maldonado, presiding judge of the 507th District Court in Harris County, Texas, to set aside her November 28, 2022 order denying their motion to transfer venue.
On April 13, 2023, the parties advised the court that the parties had reached a tentative settlement. Real party in interest filed an unopposed motion to abate this proceeding for 120 days pending finalization of the settlement. The motion is granted.
The original proceeding is abated for a period of 120 days from the date of this order, at which time the parties are directed to advise the court of the status of the settlement. The original proceeding is treated as a closed case, and removed from this court's active docket. The original proceeding will be reinstated on this court's active docket when the parties file a motion to dismiss the original proceeding or other dispositive motion. The court also will consider an appropriate motion to reinstate the original proceeding, or the court may reinstate the original proceeding on its own motion.
