Robert Allen Satterfield filed a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the trial court to permit specific discovery, including DNA and ballistics evidence analysis, related to his capital murder charge. Satterfield also requested a stay of the underlying proceedings, including the trial scheduled for December 5, 2022. The Court granted the motion to stay, halting all trial court proceedings pending further order. This temporary relief remains effective until the case is concluded unless vacated or modified. The Court instructed the State of Texas, represented by the District Attorney of Wharton County, to respond to the writ petition within ten days of the order. The order was delivered and filed on December 2, 2022.
