(Tex. App.--Austin Jan. 27, 1997) (not designated for publication).  The trial has now been held and the
trial court has rendered its final orders of adjudication and disposition, as shown in the transcript filed as
of August 29, 1997 and docketed in our cause number 03-97-00334-CV.<A HREF="#N_1_"><SUP> (1)</SUP></A>  Accordingly, the double
jeopardy claim raised in this pretrial appeal may now be asserted in cause 03-97-00334-CV, rendering
this appeal moot.</P>
