Tex. R. App. P. 18.2
Stay of Mandate
A party may move to stay issuance of the mandate
pending the United States Supreme Court's disposition
of a petition for writ of certiorari. The motion must
state the grounds for the petition and the circumstances
requiring the stay. The appellate court authorized to
issue the mandate may grant a stay if it finds that the
grounds are substantial and that the petitioner or others
would incur serious hardship from the mandate's
issuance if the United States Supreme Court were later
to reverse the judgment. In a criminal case, the stay
will last for no more than 90 days, to permit the timely
filing of a petition for writ of certiorari. After that
period and others mentioned in this rule expire, the
mandate will issue.
