Bad omen for a TCPA appeal

After a February 12 oral argument (scroll down for the link to the lengthy media file) where skepticism was expressed about applying the TCPA to trade-secret litigation, on February 14, the Fifth Court issued an order lifting the automatic stay created by statute during the appeal of the denial of a TCPA motion to dismiss. That order allows temporary-injunction and related proceedings to continue in the trial court. Dyer v. Medoc Health Services, LLC, No. 05-18-00472-CV.
