The defendant must be present at the arraignment, and his presence is required during any pre-trial proceeding.

(3) Special pleas, if any;
(4) Exceptions to the form or substance of the indictment or information;
(5) Motions for continuance either by the State or defendant; provided that grounds for continuance not existing or not known at the time may be presented and considered at any time before the defendant announces ready for trial;
(6) Motions to suppress evidence--When a hearing on the motion to suppress evidence is granted, the court may determine the merits of said motion on the motions themselves, or upon opposing affidavits, or upon oral testimony, subject to the discretion of the court;
(7) Motions for change of venue by the State or the defendant; provided, however, that such motions for change of venue, if overruled at the pre-trial hearing, may be renewed by the State or the defendant during the voir dire examination of the jury;

(10) Motion for appointment of interpreter.
Sec. 2.

The Right to a Speedy Trial in Texas
The government — not the defendant — bears the burden of bringing cases to trial, but how long must a defendant wait for his or her day in court? The answer is not clear cut.In this article, we explain your right to a speedy trial in Texas and what to do if the wheels of justice are turning too slowly.
What is the Right to a Speedy Trial?
Under the federal constitution and the Texas constitution, the accused in a criminal prosecution is guaranteed the right to a speedy trial. But neither source, nor Texas law, defines “speedy.” That means once a person is accused — either by being arrested or charged — he or she could wait months or even years before being brought to trial. During this waiting game, evidence may get lost and witnesses may disappear, resulting in a weakened defense for the defendant.The Remedy: Dismissal
The “silver lining” of this game is that the defendant’s charges may be fully dismissed if the court finds the accused was deprived of his or her right to a speedy trial. However, since the sole remedy is a dismissal, courts are hesitant in finding a deprivation of the right to a speedy trial. This means defendants may bear a heavy burden when claiming they have been denied their constitutional right to a speedy trial in Texas.
The Realities of the Right to a Speedy Trial in Texas [2022]
The Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees defendants the right to a speedy trial in Texas, but what does that really mean?

From the link:
KXAN has reached out to Armstrong’s attorney, Rick Cofer, regarding the hearing and has not yet received a response. According to court documents, he is also representing Armstrong for her theft of service charge, a class B misdemeanor, after she allegedly did not pay for a Botox session in March 2018. Court records show Armstrong has a jail docket call on that case Wednesday morning, prior to her hearing.

“Matt Wilson graduated from Middlebury College in Vermont just two weeks before his sister Moriah “Mo” Wilson was killed in Austin, Texas on May 11. Whatever plans he had as a new college graduate immediately fell to the wayside in the wake of his sister’s tragic death.”

KA’s hearing is in 403rd DistrIct Court tomorrow at 11:15 am Texas time.
This site lists streaming channels for court, and 403 appears under Judge Kennedy.
Does this mean we can watch the hearing?

KA is going to become one of those wrinkled and gnarled mug shots searchable in Texas Inmate Locator software in the year 2070. First-time facelifts before 40 do not age well without precision upkeep. I have worked on Park Avenue, NYC since 2008. This is my jam.

It's probably no coincidence that the docket does not contain any requests for expanded media coverage (EMC) for this long-awaited first hearing, and doubtful there will ever be any streaming from Court 403 for this case to the YTube channel.
Having followed Heidi Broussard's 2019 murder case, also in Travis County District Court, I've found TX is similar to Colorado having adopted Canon 35 in 1963.
At this time, it seems only CIVIL CASES have the supreme court backing for cameras & audio or expanded media coverage (EMC), and only the appellate courts (both civil and criminal), are most likely to be streamed or accessible. As with so many other States, CRIMINAL CASES, not so much.
Personally, I've only seen select County Court & Night Jail Court zoom cases on any judicial YTube channel.

Live streaming of the courts was more during the shutdown when all parties appeared virtually. I don't think they are all streaming anymore but I could be wrong?
The streams dont stay on youtube forever. But i dont recommend recording any of tomorrow's (or any streamed) hearing if they do stream because it's strictly forbidden!

I didn’t realize that Mo was the older sister. Unbelievable tragedy, and no amount of support can ever return the child and sibling lost.
Hopefully she’ll be tweeting from the courtroom today…
Kaitlin Armstrong, the Austin woman who allegedly shot and killed pro-cyclist Moriah Wilson, is scheduled for a pre-trial hearing tomorrow after spending 43 days on the run. I'll be in the courtroom.

What about nose jobs?
I was thinking KA might also have tattooed eyeliner? Eye lift? Silicone? What are your thoughts on this?
What kind of upkeep are you describing.
Since that station, as well as Fox News Austin and KXAN Austin are covering the hearing, maybe they’ll let cameras in:
Kaitlin Armstrong, Texas love triangle murder suspect, pleads not guilty
The Austin woman accused of murdering cyclist Moriah “Mo” Wilson on May 11 has made her first court appearance. Kaitlin Armstrong was arrested in Costa Rica in June after more than 40 days on the run.

I apologize for what might be a dumb question, but are there ever typically any new facts learned at these pre-trial hearings? I admittedly follow these types of incidents until they get to the legal type proceedings as i lose a bit of interest due to the slow wheels of beauracracy and all the formalities... so i'm not up to speed on these things.
NOT a dumb question.
I think the plea and the bail will be the main information gleaned.
Cameras are not allowed in the courtroom Wednesday, but KVUE will have a reporter present to follow the latest updates.
