      Sec. 161.2011.  STAY OF PROCEEDING; ACCESS TO CHILD.  (a)  A
suit to terminate the parent-child relationship shall be stayed
during the time that any criminal charges filed against a parent
whose rights are subject to termination in the suit are pending if
the criminal charges are directly related to the grounds for which
termination of the parent's rights are sought.
      (b)  The court in which a suit to terminate the parent-child
relationship is pending may render an order denying a parent access
to a child if the parent is indicted for criminal activity that
constitutes a ground for terminating the parent-child relationship
under Section 161.001.  The denial of access under this section
shall continue until the date the criminal charges for which the
parent was indicted are resolved and the court renders an order
providing for access to the child by the parent.
