F. Michael Schultz, Relator v. the Fifth Judicial District Court of Appeals at Dallas and the Honorable Martin…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a post‑judgment turnover order is a final, appealable judgment and that exclusive jurisdiction to enforce its injunctionary provisions by contempt lies with the appellate court where the order is under appeal. Accordingly, the Court conditionally granted a writ of mandamus directing the Fifth Court of Appeals to withdraw its order refusing jurisdiction and to order the trial court to rescind its contempt orders.
