We note our jurisdiction over this matter and the parties. See Tex.

It is ORDERED that all further proceedings in Cause No. A-192,645 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 the relator as a condition to any relief herein granted.
