Fourth Court of Appeals
                                       San Antonio, Texas
                                             October 18, 2023

                                           No. 04-23-00637-CR

                             IN RE Ramon Oniel SARAVIA-BONILLA

                                           Original Proceeding 1

                                                  ORDER

        On June 29, 2023, Relator, Ramon Oniel Saravia-Bonilla, filed a petition for writ of
mandamus, complaining of the trial court’s June 15, 2023, order. Relator also filed a motion to
stay the underlying proceedings, which we granted on June 30, 2023.

        On June 21, 2023, we issued an opinion holding that equal protection claims are cognizable
in a pre-trial application for writ of habeas corpus. See Ex parte Aparacio, 672 S.W.3d 696, 713
(Tex. App.—San Antonio 2023, pet. granted) (en banc). We believe the trial court should have an
opportunity to reconsider its decision in light of our recent opinion. Therefore, we DENY the
petition for writ of mandamus WITHOUT PREJUDICE to Relator’s seeking relief, if necessary,
after the trial court has had an opportunity to reconsider its ruling. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).

        The stay issued on June 30, 2023, is LIFTED.

        It is so ORDERED on October 18, 2023.

                                                                    _____________________________
                                                                    Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 18th day of October, 2023.

                                                                    _____________________________
                                                                    Michael A. Cruz, Clerk of Court
