On May 11, 2016, relator filed a petition for writ of prohibition and mandamus, and an emergency motion for temporary relief. This court is of the opinion that a serious question concerning the mandamus relief sought requires further consideration. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(b). The respondent and the real parties in interest may file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus in this court no later than May 26, 2016. Any such response must conform to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.4.

Relator’s request for emergency relief is GRANTED. The trial court’s order of April 22, 2016, requiring the grand jury be assembled on May 12, 2016 is STAYED pending final resolution of the petition filed in this court.

It is so ORDERED on May 11, 2016.
