Word out of Huntsville: The prison system can wait until about 11:30pm CST to execute Robert Robertson pending the legal fight back here in Austin over the Texas House's power to subpoena Roberson for testimony next Monday.

A group of Texas lawmakers is pulling out all the stops tonight to prevent Robert Roberson's execution from going forward, because they're so troubled by his case. I've been covering the death penalty here since the '90s and I've never seen anything like it.

The Court of Criminal Appeals struck down the Travis County judge's temporary restraining order. The legislators are appealing the decision to the Texas Supreme Court.

The Texas Supreme Court has stayed Robert Roberson's execution, four hours after he was scheduled to die. This came after an unprecedented intervention from state lawmakers at the eleventh hour: texasobserver.org/robert-roberso…

This has been such a wild ride today. I cannot imagine how he is feeling right now.

I just heard Michelle Pitcher on the Texas Standard, talking about the Robert Roberson case. She noted Anderson Co cannot issue another death warrant for 90 days. So… That effort Paxton made to upend the court matters. #txlege

Update: The committee is not expecting to meet today, according to committee vice chair David Cook
