The trial for a La Joya mother accused in the death of her 2-year-old son is on hold.

Jaime Rosales faced a judge on Thursday for an injury to child charge.

Prosecutors told Action 4 News that she left the boy with her morbidly obese sister Mayra Rosales.

The 1,000-pound Hidalgo County woman is facing capital murder charges for the boy's alleged beating death.

Prosecutors told a judge on Thursday that they weren't ready for Jaime Rosales' case.

They said investigators submitted DNA evidence to a crime lab for analysis and those results won't be back until March.

Another hearing on the case is expected to take place on Monday.
