January 10, 2021 - Unbeknownst to the Board of Directors, the 16th District Court of Denton County granted the POA's motion for temporary injunction against Glen Hyde and his entities on December 7, 2020. The Board did not find out about the Court's order until after the annual meeting.
The Court's order states:
It is therefore ORDERED that a temporary injunction issue, operative until judgment is entered in this cause, enjoining Glen Hyde, Candace Hyde, Dreamships, Inc. and Texas Air Classics, Inc. from:
a. Interfering with the POA’s management of the airport;
b. Interfering with the property owners’ and their contractors’ repairs and/or improvements of their respective properties including their access to common airport properties and areas governed by property owners’ easement rights;
c. Interfering with any property owner’s attempts to market or sell their respective property by entering on another's property during any time such property is being shown to potential buyers by the property owner, or a broker;
d. Interfering with the POA’s collection of fees from its members;
e. Representing to any person or entity, including the FAA, that any Defendant has
the authority to manage the airport; and
f. Collecting or attempting to collect fees from property owners and/or airport users
under his purported License Agreement.
Although Mr. Hyde agreed to air out all issues without further legal expense, he has already filed a motion for expedited appeal of this injunction. Trial is set for April 5 and 6, 2021. We will keep you posted.
