      Appellant, the State of Texas, by and through the District Attorney in and for

trial court’s proceedings pending disposition of its appeal. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC.

ANN. § 44.01(a)(1), (4) (West, Westlaw through Ch. 46, 2015 R.S.). The Court, having

examined and fully considered the motion for stay of proceedings, is of the opinion that

said motion should be granted. The motion for stay is hereby GRANTED, and the trial

court's proceedings are hereby ordered STAYED pending disposition of the State’s

appeal.
