IN RE LISA DESIO JOHNSON, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
Probate Court No. 3
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 508476
ORDER
Relator Lisa DeSio Johnson filed a petition for writ of mandamus asking this
court to order the trial court to vacate the portion of its October 15, 2026 order
finding relator in contempt and ordering her to pay a $500 fine as a sanction within
ten days. Relator also filed a motion asking this court to stay enforcement of the

2
contempt adjudication and fine in the trial court pending a decision on the petition
for writ of mandamus.
It appears from the facts stated in the petition and motion that relator’s
request for relief requires further consideration and that relator will be prejudiced
unless immediate temporary relief is granted. We therefore GRANT relator’s
motion and issue the following order:
We ORDER the portion of the October 15, 2026 order finding relator in
contempt and ordering her to pay a $500 fine as a sanction within ten days in trial
court cause number 508476 STAYED until a final decision by this court on
relator’s petition for writ of mandamus, or until further order of this court.
In addition, the court ORDERS Teresa Scardino, Jocelyn Thibodaux Slater,
Laura Daugherty, and American National Bank & Trust, the real parties in interest,
to file a response to (1) the emergency motion for temporary relief; and (2) the
petition for writ of mandamus within 14 days from the date of this order. See Tex.
