Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Where in the Texas Penal Code can I find information regarding "The Rule" which speaks to whether a relative of a murder victim that testifies at the murder trial can sit in on the rest of the trial after testifying.....if the testimony is not directly related to the actual crime scene?
