      Relator requests that all further proceedings in the trial court be stayed while

this Court considers the mandamus petition.1 The Court finds temporary relief is

necessary to prevent undue prejudice. It is ORDERED that all further trial court

proceedings in Trial Cause Number B-209,929 are STAYED until our opinion issues

or until further order of this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.10(b). No bond is required

of Relator as a condition to any relief herein granted.
