The State of
Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
October 30, 2015
No. 04-15-00207-CR and 04-15-00208-CR
Jessica G. CASTILLO,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the County Court at Law No. 4, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 458109 and 458110
Honorable Jason Garrahan, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant filed motions asking this court to lift the stay of sentencing so she may begin
probation on these cases – as well as a third case – immediately, despite the pending appeals.
We ordered the State to file a response, which it has done. In its response, the State notes that by
lifting the sentencing stays, appellant’s terms of probation will begin immediately, requiring
appellant to write an apology letter, a letter that is the subject of one of her appellate complaints.
We ORDER appellant to file a written reply to the State’s response and file it in this court on or
before November 20, 2015, specifically as to the effect an order lifting the automatic stays would
have on appellant’s issue regarding the apology letter. In addition to responding to the State’s
arguments, appellant should provide argument and authority on whether her request to lift the
stay of the appeals waives her issue relating to the apology letter, as well as any other potential
effect.
