139th district Court Judge J.R. "Bobby" Flores also said he would consider a request from Diaz’s attorney for another psychiatric evaluation. 

In November 2023, Diaz’s defense team argued that Diaz was diagnosed with Schizophrenia in Mexico.

In May 2024, Diaz was found competent to stand trial.

Judge Flores said he did not want to delay the trial further.
