Art. 29.13. [551] [616] [605] CONTINUANCE AFTER TRIAL IS 
BEGUN.  A continuance or postponement may be granted on the motion 
of the State or defendant after the trial has begun, when it is made 
to appear to the satisfaction of the court that by some unexpected 
occurrence since the trial began, which no reasonable diligence 
could have anticipated, the applicant is so taken by surprise that a 
fair trial cannot be had.
