1. If a trial court wishes to cumulate sentences, must it so order at the time and place that sentence is orally pronounced? See Grays v State, 291 S.W. 3d 555, 558 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2009, no pet.), citing Ex parte Madding, 70 S.W. 3d 131,136 (Tex.Crim.App.2002).

2. Once a defendant is removed from the courtroom, is it to late to cumulate the sentence just imposed with an earlier one? See Ex parte Vasquez, 712 S.W.2d 754, 755 (Tex.Crim.App.1986); Ex parte Madding, 70 S.W.3d 131(Tex.Crim.App.2002).

3. Does a trial court have the statutory authority to orally pronounce one sentence in the defendant 's presence, but enter a different sentence in its written judgment outside of the defendant 's presence? Ex parte Madding, 70 S.W.3d 131.

4. Must a defendant be physically present and be able to hear and respond to the sentence? Ex parte Madding, 70 S.W.3d 131.

5. The trial court 's signing of the cumulation order did not occur on the same day as the date that Petitioner was formally sentenced on March 10,2005 and the cumulation order was signed eleven (11) days later without Petitioner being present. Is this a violation of the double jeopardy clause of the United States Constitution?
