OPINION
ADELE HEDGES, Chief Justice.
Appellee, Carolyn Sue Krizan-Wilson, was indicted on July 14, 2008 for the murder of her husband, Roy McCaleb, who had been killed on September 22, 1985. Appellee filed a motion to dismiss the indictment based on the nearly twenty-three year prosecutorial delay between the alleged offense and the filing of charges. The trial court granted the motion and dismissed the case. The State of Texas now appeals the order of dismissal. We reverse the trial court’s order and remand for further proceedings in accordance with this opinion.
