in Re Jennifer A. Tharp

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN






NO. 03-11-00542-CV


In re Jennifer A. Tharp






ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM COMAL COUNTY


O R D E R

PER CURIAM

Relator Jennifer A. Tharp, the District Attorney of Comal County, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus and an application for temporary stay pending disposition of her mandamus petition. Relator seeks relief from an order of the district court that permits Real Party in Interest Lakisha Deshon Wilson, whom the record reflects is currently in jail pending trial on criminal charges, to make bail by depositing into the court's registry ten percent of the bail bond amount set by the court. We grant the request for temporary relief to the extent of staying, pending further orders of this Court, the district court's order authorizing the real party in interest to make bail with a ten-percent cash deposit. We request that the real party in interest file a response to the mandamus petition not later than September 12, 2011. The real party in interest may also address, in either her mandamus response or a separate, earlier filing, the advisability of our continuing the temporary relief pending our resolution of the mandamus petition.

It is ordered August 31, 2011.
