Sitting:         Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice

        On July 1, 2019, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus and a motion for stay
pending final resolution of the petition for writ of mandamus. This court believes a serious

this court no later than July 17, 2019. Any such response must conform to Texas Rule of
Appellate Procedure 52.4.

        Relator’s request for a stay is GRANTED. All proceedings in the underlying case, styled
The State of Texas v. Michael Stovall, Cause Number 2017-CR-9645, pending in the 226th
Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, are STAYED pending final resolution of the
petition for writ of mandamus.

           It is so ORDERED on July 2, 2019.

                                                                      PER CURIAM
