STATE v. MATA

No. 04-99-00923-CR.

30 S.W.3d 486 (2000)

The STATE of Texas, Appellant, v. David MATA, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Texas, San Antonio.

August 23, 2000.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Raul A. Martinez, Asst. Dist. Atty., Laredo, for Appellant.

Hugo D. Martinez, Asst. Public Defender, Laredo, for Appellee.

Sitting: CATHERINE STONE, Justice, SARAH B. DUNCAN, Justice, KAREN ANGELINI, Justice.

OPINION

Opinion by: SARAH B. DUNCAN, Justice.

The State appeals the trial court's order suppressing the results of a DNA blood test, arguing the trial court erred in holding that the request for consent to take a sample of Mata's blood was a critical stage at which Mata had the right to counsel. We agree, reverse the trial court's order, and remand the case for further proceedings.
