A Travis County judge granted a temporary restraining order in the case of Robert Roberson, a man on death row many have argued is innocent, on Thursday.
Wednesday night, a House panel subpoenaed Roberson himself for a hearing.
During a hearing Thursday afternoon, hours before the scheduled execution at 6 p.m., a Travis County Judge heard arguments regarding the subpoena.
The judge ruled Robert Roberson will be able to testify next week, October 21 at noon.

The Attorney General's Office said it will appeal to the Court of Criminal Appeals.
