RE:   Case Number:  06-0421
      Court of Appeals Number:  01-06-00014-CV
      Trial Court Number:  29,660

Style:      IN RE  ELIZABETH WOOD

Dear Counsel:

      Today the Supreme Court of Texas  granted  the  Motion  for  Emergency
Relief and issued the enclosed stay order in the above-referenced case.
      In addition, pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 55.1, you  are  requested  to
file briefs on the merits in the above-styled case.  Please  refer  to  Tex.
R. App. P. 55  for  the  requirements  of  relators'  and  real  parties  in
interest briefs.  Please note that any party may  elect  to  rely  upon  the
briefs already on file with this Court by notifying this office  in  writing
no later than the due date of the brief.  If you elect to rely upon a  brief
filed with  the  court  of  appeals,  you  must  provide  twelve  copies  in
accordance with Tex. R. App.  P.  9.3(b).   The  filing  of  a  notification
letter shall invoke the same timetable  as  the  filing  of  a  brief.   The
petition for writ of  mandamus  has  not  been  granted  and  remains  under
consideration by the Court.
      The briefing schedule is outlined below.  See Tex. R.  App.  P.  55.7.
Please note that Tex. R. App. P. 9.2(b) does not apply.  All briefs are  due
to be filed in this office on or before 3:00 p.m. on the due date:
      Relator/s shall file their brief within thirty days of this  date  (on
      or before July 21, 2006).


      Real party/parties in interest shall file their response brief  within
      twenty days after receiving relator/s brief (no later than August  10,
      2006).


      Relator/s shall  file  any  reply  brief  within  fifteen  days  after
      receiving real party/parties in interest brief (no later  than  August
      25, 2006).


      Additionally, the Court requests that parties submit  a  copy  of  all
briefs on the merits (including amicus and post-submission briefs)  and  the
respective petitions,  responses,  and  replies  -  already  on  file  -  in
electronic form within ten (10) days of the  date  of  this  letter.   Also,
please submit an electronic copy when filing the hard copies of  any  brief.
Please see the enclosed information for guidelines.

                                       Sincerely,
                                       [pic]

              INFORMATION ON SUBMISSION OF ELECTRONIC BRIEFING

      In order to make more information available  to  the  public  via  the
Court's website, we request that all briefs on the merits (including  amicus
and post-submission briefs) be submitted electronically.   Additionally,  in
all cases (such as this case) in which the Court requests full  briefing  on
the merits, the Court requests that you submit an electronic  copy  of  your
previously filed  petition  for  review,  petition  for  writ  of  mandamus,
response, or reply, etc., as applicable.  Please submit an  electronic  copy
of each filing in the following form and format when filing the hard  copies
of any brief.

      The Court asks the parties to submit  each  electronic  brief  in  the
following form and format:

        1. Each efiling should be submitted either by email  attachment  or
           on a separate 3 1/2 inch floppy disc/CD.


        2. Each email attachment or disc/CD must include information  or  a
           label, respectively, that identifies the case name,  the  docket
           number, type of filing (i.e.  petition  for  writ  of  mandamus,
           response, reply,  relator's  brief,  real  party  in  interest's
           brief, brief in reply, amicus brief),  and  the  word-processing
           software and version used to prepare the brief.   If  submitting
           by email, please attach a Certificate of Compliance.  A link  to
           the certificate can be found on the Supreme Court's  Website  at
           http://www.supreme.courts.state.tx.us/ebriefs.  If submitting an
           efiling on floppy  disc/CD,  please  enclose  a  Certificate  of
           Compliance with the disc/CD.


        3. If available, the Court prefers the use of searchable PDF  files
           because files in this format generally may not be  altered.   If
           this format is not available to you, please use either Microsoft
           Word (up to Word  2002  (Word  XP))  or  WordPerfect  version  7
           through 11.0.  Documents submitted in  these  versions  will  be
           converted to searchable PDF by the Clerk's office.


        4. The email attachment or disc/CD must contain only an  electronic
           copy of the submitted filing. The email  attachment  or  disc/CD
           must not contain any document or material that is  not  included
           in the original hard copy of the filing with the Court.


        5. The email attachment or disc/CD must be free of viruses  or  any
           other files that would be disruptive  to  the  Court's  computer
           system.

        6. If submitting an efiling as an email attachment at the time  the
           brief is  filed,  please  advise  the  Clerk's  office  in  your
           transmittal  letter  accompanying  hard  copies;   please   send
           efilings to scebriefs@courts.state.tx.us.
