Weaver has filed a motion for temporary relief requesting a stay of the underlying proceeding pending our disposition of her petition for writ of mandamus.

TEX . GOV ’T CODE ANN . § 22.221(b)(1) (Vernon 2004). The respondent in this original proceeding is a judge in Panola County. However, Panola County lies within the Sixth Court of Appeals District.
