OPINION

MICHAEL MASSENGALE, Justice.

Relator, the City of Houston, has petitioned this court for a writ of mandamus, seeking review of the trial court’s order granting a new trial.* After the trial court’s ruling, the Supreme Court of Texas decided In re Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., which announced that a trial court’s legally appropriate and reasonably specific order granting a new trial may be reviewed on its substantive merits in a mandamus proceeding. 407 S.W.3d 746, 758-59 (Tex.2013). Applying that standard of review to this case, we conditionally grant relief.
