A Texas Motion to Stay is a motion that can be filed in a Texas court by either party in a civil or criminal matter. It is essentially a request for the court to temporarily suspend any further proceedings until the motion is resolved. The Texas Motion to Stay may be used to postpone a judgment or to delay the execution of a sentence. There are three different types of Texas Motion to Stay: a stay of execution, a stay of proceedings, and a stay of judgment. A stay of execution suspends the execution of a sentence, usually for a period of time. A stay of proceedings stops the proceedings of a case until the motion is resolved. A stay of judgment prevents a judgment from being entered until the motion is resolved.
