Focus of a supersedeas bond

“‘[T]he purpose of a supersedeas bond is to preserve the status quo by staying the execution or enforcement of the judgment or order appealed from pending the appeal.’ Here, that is precisely what occurred in the trial court. During the pendency of the appeal, CTCA was in the same position it had been prior to obtaining
a favorable judgment. It continued to receive the same membership dues it otherwise could have received had the Haedge Group members been ousted earlier and their shares transferred. Except for the $7,000 deficiency, CTCA did not demonstrate any loss or damage caused by the supersedeas. It is entitled to no further amounts from the bond. Haedge v. Central Texas Cattleman’s Association, No. 19-0595 (Tex. June 26, 2020) (per curiam).
