Per Curiam
This memorandum opinion and order addresses three appeals arising from the

cause to the trial court to take evidence and make findings regarding the supersedeas bond

contest. See Tex. R. App. P. 24.4(d). The evidence and findings shall include events occurring

since the trial court’s October 6, 2025 Order on Plaintiffs’ Objection to Net Worth Declaration

and Motion for Sanctions. The trial court shall direct that its order be filed with this Court in a

supplemental clerk’s record by May 29, 2026.

No. 03-25-00617-CV remains in effect. This Court temporarily stays the turnover order in Cause
