TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
Pursuant to the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, including Tex. R. App.
P. 52.10, Relators, Bobby Wayne McKissack, Individually and as Co-Agent and
Attorney in Fact for Joe Ann McKissack and Bobby Wilson McKissack, and Eric
McKissack, Individually and as Co-Agent and Attorney in Fact for Joe Ann
McKissack and Bobby Wilson McKissack (“Relators”) file this Motion for
Emergency Relief and show the following:
1. Relators have filed a Petition for Writ of mandamus, in which Relators seek
relief from a November 9, 2017 order (the “Order”) from the Honorable Gary L.
Steel, Judge Presiding of the 274 th Judicial Court, the Judicial District Court,
Comal County, Texas. See Order (attached as Exhibit “A” ). In the Order, the
Court granted Respondent’s Motion for Anti-Suit Injunction and enjoined and
abated two guardianship proceedings pending in the County Court in Taylor
County, Texas.
2. In Relators’ Petition for Writ of Mandamus filed with the Court on
November 14, 2017, Relators ask this Court to issue a writ of mandamus 1)
reversing the Order of the Comal County District Court, which granted Plaintiff's
Motion for Anti-Suit Injunction, and 2) dissolving the Temporary Injunction Order
issued by the Comal County District Court in its entirety.
___________________________________________________ RELATORS’ MOTION FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF Page of
3. Until such time as the Court can address Relators’ Petition, Joe Ann
McKissack and Bobby Wilson McKissack are facing financial and emotional
difficulties that can only be resolved through the guardianship proceedings pending
in Taylor County. While these financial and emotional issues have been prevalent
since the applications were filed and necessitated same, these issues have been
ramping up such that this emergency relief is now imminently necessary. Another
family member, Brian McKissack apparently now has POA for both Joe Ann and
Bobby Wilson McKissack; however, he is failing to take care of their day to day
financial needs. For example, Joe Ann and Bobby Wilson McKissack still own a
home and acreage in Pearsall, Texas and Brian had failed to pay the homeowners’
insurance, thus requiring Eric McKissack to pay the insurance out of his pocket (so
as to not violate the temporary injunction) earlier this month. This issue and others
are set forth in more detail in the Affidavits of Eric McKissack and Kami
McKissack attached hereto as Exhibits “B” and “C.”
Further, despite being incapacitated and in need of the assistance provided at the assisted living facility in Abilene, Joe Ann recently declared that they were
moving back to Pearsall due to the costs of the facility. The reason that Eric and
his wife, Kami, moved Joe Ann and Bobby Wilson McKissack to Abilene a year
ago was due to the fact that their medical and financial needs were not being met in
Pearsall. Bobby Wilson has dementia and needs dialysis three times a week and
___________________________________________________ RELATORS’ MOTION FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF Page of
Joe Ann has macular degeneration such that she can no longer drive or take care of
their daily needs.
Further, the sons (Stephen and Bobby Wayne) and grandsons (Bryan and
Eric) of Joe Ann and Bobby Wilson are on opposite sides of the underlying legal
battle, brought by Real Party in Interest Stephen McKissack. This family fight has
caused a tremendous emotional toll on both Joe Ann and Bobby Wilson. As such,
the guardianships need to proceed immediately in order to insure the financial
needs and emotional well-being of Joe Ann and Bobby Wilson McKissack are
properly attended to. Relators will be irreparably harmed if this emergency relief is
not granted and certainly if this Court eventually determines that they are not
entitled to maintain guardianship proceedings in the only court with jurisdiction
over those proceedings for Joe Ann McKissack and Bobby Wilson McKissack.
Accordingly, Relators request that the Court immediately issue an order: allowing
Relators to proceed with the guardianship proceedings in Taylor County, Texas
while Relator's Petition is pending determination before the Court.
4. The prejudice to Relators will be great if this motion is not granted, whereas
the prejudice to Real Party in Interest, Stephen McKissak will be minimal as he did
not even file a response to Relators’ Petition for Writ of Mandamus seeking the
same relief.
___________________________________________________ RELATORS’ MOTION FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF Page of
PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, pending the Court's consideration of Relators’ Petition for
Writ of Mandamus, Relators respectfully request that the Court grant this Motion
for Temporary Relief and immediately issue an order: allowing Relators to proceed
with the guardianship proceedings filed for Joe Ann McKissack and Bobby Wilson
McKissack in Taylor County, Texas. Relators also request such other and further
relief to which they may be entitled.

I N J UNC T I O N P ag e o f *9 B. On August 24, 2017, Cause No. El 17167 was nonsuited as to Steve McKissack and all others occupying the premises at
- and dismissed; C. On August 29, 2017, Steve McKissack filed an Original Petition and an Application for Ex-Parte Temporary Restraining Order in the 274th Judicial District Court of Comal County, Texas under Cause No. C2017-1496C; D. On August 29, 2017, this Court heard, approved, signed, and ordered that the temporary restraining order issue without notice to Defendants, restraining Defendants, Defendants' officers, agents, servants, employees, successors and assigns, and attorneys from:
" ... directly or indirectly using, selling, or entering into any transactions relative to the personal or marital estate of Joe Ann McKissack and Bobby Wilson Mc Kissack or making any sort of use of the accounts or funds associated with the personal or marital estate of Joe Ann McKissack and Bobby Wilson McKissack; from taking any action that would be detrimental to the personal or marital estate of Joe Ann McKissack and Bobby Wilson McKissack; and, from causing any further damages or waste to the personal or marital estate of Joe Ann McKissack and Bobby Wilson McKissack." E. On September 11, 2017, the parties agreed to and this Court signed an order extending the temporary restraining order until September 28, 2017; F. On September 28, 2017, Defendants appeared in court in front of the Honorable Judge Gary Steel in the 274 th Judicial District Court of Comal County, Texas, ORDER ON PLAINTIFF'S APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER & ANTI-SUIT
INJUNCTION
Page 2 of 7 *10 seeking a continuance to employ counsel. This Court admonished each of the Defendants that they needed to review the Temporary Restraining Order and to abide by it in its entirety until such time as the case was reset. This Court specifically admonished the Defendants to take no action that could be considered a violation of the Temporary Restraining Order; G. On October 12, 2017, Defendant Bobby Wayne McKissack, by and through · counsel, Robert Wagstaff, filed two guardianship actions in Taylor County with regard to the person and estate of Joe Ann McKissack and Bobby Wilson McKissack, in direct violation of this Court's temporary restraining order; and H. On October 18, 2017, Defendants, by and through counsel, Robert Wagstaff, agreed to the injunctive order, attached hereto as Exhibit '' l" and incorporated herein by reference as if set forth word for word, also pertaining to the personal and marital estate of Joe Ann McKissack and Bobby Wilson McKissack, despite having already filed the two guardianship actions in Taylor County with regard to the personal and marital estate of Bobby Wilson McKissack and Joe Ann McKissack. The agreed injunctive order enjoined Defendants, Defendants' officers, agents, servants, employees, successors and assigns, and attorneys from committing the restrained conduct as described above and previously ordered by this Court's temporary restraining order. Further, counsel Robert Wagstaff never brought the existence of the two guardianship actions filed in Taylor County to the attention of this Court or Plaintiff's counsel. In fact, the existence of the two guardianship actions filed in Taylor County were not discovered by Plaintiff's counsel until AFTER counsel Robert Wagstaff agreed ORDER ON PLAINTIFF'S APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER & ANTI-SUIT
INJUNCTION
Page 3 of 7 *11 to the injunctive order, which was entered by agreement and signed before visiting judge, the Honorable Todd Bloomerth.
THIS COURT FURTHER FINDS that Plaintiff has met the requisite burden of proof necessary for the issuance of this Temporary Restraining Order and Anti-Suit Injunction by
establishing each and every element imposed by Texas law governing the issuance of anti-suit
injunctions and orders of abatement on grounds of dominant jurisdiction;
The Applications for Appointment of Permanent Guardian for the Person and Estate of Joe Ann McKissack (Cause No. 2-1219) and the Person and Estate of Bobby Wilson McKissack
(Cause No. 2-1220), filed by Bobby Wayne McKissack in the County Court at Law #2 of Taylor
County, are inherently interrelated to and inextricably intertwined with the Application for Ex Parte
Temporary Restraining Order and Injunction, filed by Steve McKissack in the 274 th Judicial
District Court of Comal County (Cause No. C2017-1496C), the subsequent Temporary Restraining
Order issued by this Court, and the Agreed Injunction, in that both actions involve the same parties
and the personal and marital estate of Joe Ann McKissack and Bobby Wilson McKissack;
The Applications for Appointment of Permanent Guardian for the Person and Estate of Joe Ann McKissack (Cause No. 2-1219) and the Person and Estate of Bobby Wilson McKissack
(Cause No. 2-1220), filed on behalf of Bobby Wayne McKissack by Defendant's attorney Matt
Mercer in the County Court at Law #2 of Taylor County, constitute vexatious litigation; a
multiplicity of inherently interrelated and inextricably intertwined suits; and represents a clear
threat to this Court's exclusive jurisdiction of the personal and marital estate of Bobby Wilson
Mc Kissack and Joe Ann McKissack;
Very special circumstances exist such that this injunction is necessary to prevent an irreparable miscarriage of justice in that the guardianship actions in Taylor County were filed on

ERIC McKISSACK, Affiant day of SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN TO BEFORE ME, on the December, 2017, to which witness my hand and seal of office. SARAH A. MCGRAW
Notary ID # 125090435 My Commission Expires Notary Public, State of Texas October 18, 2020 *21 AFFIDAVIT OF KAMI McKISSACK COUNTY OF TAYLOR §
§
STATE OF TEXAS §
BEFORE ME, the undersigned official, on this day appeared KAMI McKISSACK, who is personally known to me, and after first being duly sworn according to law under oath deposed and stated:
"My name is KAMI McKISSACK. I am over the age of 18 years, I am a resident of Taylor County, Texas, and I am fully capable of making this affidavit. I have personal knowledge of the facts stated herein and they are true and correct.
"I am the granddaughter-in-law of BOBBY WILSON McKISSACK ("BOB") and JOE ANN McKISSACK ("JOE ANN"). I am the wife of BOB and JOE ANN's grandson, ERIC McKISSACK ("ERIC").
"I have a close personal relationship with BOB and JOE ANN, and have been intimately involved in their personal care and business affairs since they moved to Abilene in February 2017. I have done this at their request, and to assist my husband and his uncle, BOBBY WAYNE McKISSACK ("BOBBY"), who are BOB and JOE ANN's agents under Durable Powers of Attorney.
"In February 2017, BOB and JOE ANN moved from Pearsall, Frio County, Texas to Abilene, Taylor County, Texas. BOB and JOE ANN moved into Lyndale Abilene, a senior care facility located in Abilene, Texas ("Lyndale"). The move was made necessary because BOB and JOE ANN's health, well-being and safety were of growing concern. Before the move, JOE ANN was still driving although she had been rendered legally blind by macular degeneration. Neither BOB nor JOE ANN were taking their medications correctly or regularly. JOE ANN would misplace personal items, and then accuse her housekeepers of stealing them. BOB and JOE ANN's son, STEPHEN McKISSACK ("STEPHEN") would come by their home and take items that did not belong to him.
"Once they were in Abilene, BOB and JOE ANN stabilized. Affiant and ERIC assumed primary responsibility for meeting their needs, doing almost 100% of the work not offered or provided by Lyndale. Affiant and ERIC bought groceries and toiletries for them, took them to the doctor and to dialysis appointments, did their laundry and other chores. Affiant and ERIC also assisted with property management and bill payment.
"Following the move, finances were tight for BOB and JOE ANN, so a decision was made to sell the residence in Pearsall, Frio County, Texas, to provide some financial breathing room and pay off delinquent ad valorem taxes in Frio and Comal County. That plan was not able to be carried out, however, because of the lawsuit filed by STEPHEN in Comal County.
"Following the filing of the lawsuit, BRYAN McKISSACK ("BRYAN"} STEPHEN's son and ERIC's brother-asswned responsibility for managing the property
and finances of BOB and JOE ANN. When BRYAN took control, he was provided with a
detailed folder listing instructions on business matters for BOB and JOE ANN, including
but not limited to lists of accounts, bills to be paid, and other similar and pertinent
information. Shortly after it was given to BRYAN, that same folder was found in BOB and
JOE ANN's apartment with nwnerous unaddressed, but stamped, envelopes inside.
According to JOE ANN, these were left for her to mail to pay bills. JOE ANN could not see
sufficiently enough to address envelopes, which made her frustrated and concerned.
"BOB and JOE ANN's physical and mental health has declined sharply since the litigation began. The relationship of the family, likewise, has deteriorated. JOE ANN is
prone to crying fits and gets confused very easily. BOB gets angered and upset by the
arguments and allegations. Regularly, after visits from BRYAN or with STEPHEN, JOE
ANN will call very upset and express that she feels like 'a stupid woman' and asking
Affiant 'why she does the things' that BRYAN and STEPHEN ask her to do.
"JOE ANN has asked Affiant why she no longer pays bills or takes care of things for them. When told that BRYAN must handle those things now due to the litigation, JOE ANN
expresses that she does not want BRYAN to handle her affairs, because 'he knows nothing
about us.'
"Since assuming control, BRYAN has failed to properly manage the business and financial affairs of BOB and JOE ANN. Specifically, the homeowner's insurance on their
home in Pearsall almost lapsed for nonpayment. When notified by the insurance company,
Affiant and ERIC personally paid the premiwn out of our own pocket so that the insurance
would remain in place. BOB and JOE ANN have complained that they are often without
snacks, groceries or hygiene and health products. It is Affiant's understanding that BRYAN
in in possession of BOB and JOE ANN's credit card, but has not used it to provide them
with all of the things that they need. As a result, Affiant and ERIC have given them these
items and personally paid for them.
"BRYAN has accused Affiant and ERIC of stealing property belonging to BOB and JOE ANN, which is not true. These allegations only upset BOB and JOE ANN. On
information and belief, BRYAN has taken BOB and JOE ANN to see doctors that are not
their primary care physician, and BOB and JOE ANN have expressed that they do not want
to see other doctors.
"It is not safe or in the best interest of BOB or JOE ANN to move from Lyndale, where they receive appropriate care and oversight. It is especially not in the best interest of
BOB or JOE ANN to move from Lyndale without any sort of plan in place for their
protection or safety. Moving from Lyndale could put the health or safety of BOB or JOE
