COURT OF APPEALS

SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS

FORT WORTH





NO. 2-03-365-CV





IN RE OMNI HOTELS MANAGEMENT 

CORPORATION AND

OMNI HOTELS FRANCHISING 

COMPANY, L.L.C.





------------



FROM PROBATE COURT NO. ONE OF TARRANT COUNTY



------------



MEMORANDUM OPINION
(footnote: 1) AND JUDGMENT



------------

Relators filed an emergency motion to stay certain proceedings in the trial court.
(footnote: 2)  They did not file a petition seeking extraordinary relief,
(footnote: 3) although they claim in the motion that they will file a petition for mandamus later.  An appellate court cannot grant temporary relief under rule 52.10 unless an original proceeding has first been filed.
(footnote: 4)  Implicit in rule 52.10 is the necessity for a petition to be filed before our court can grant emergency relief.
(footnote: 5)  At this point, there is no controversy before this court.
(footnote: 6)
	We therefore dismiss Relators’ emergency motion for want of jurisdiction without prejudice to refiling it if and when an original proceeding is actually commenced.
