Allen Ho v. State

Order entered January 30, 2015 In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-00962-CR No. 05-14-00963-CR ALLEN HO, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 3 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F13-58092-J, F13-58094-J ORDER The Court REINSTATES the appeals. On January 21, 2015, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why appellant’s brief had not been filed. On January 26, 2015, we received appellant’s brief, together with an extension motion. Therefore, in the interest of expediting the appeals, we VACATE the January 21, 2015 order requiring findings. We note that the clerk’s records do not contain the trial court’s certifications of appellant’s right to appeal nor has the Court separately received them. Accordingly, we ORDER the trial court to prepare and file, within FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order, certifications of appellant’s right to appeal that accurately reflect the trial court proceedings. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d); Cortez v. State, 420 S.W.3d 803 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013). We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the Honorable Gracie Lewis, Presiding Judge, Criminal District Court No. 3; Felicia Pitre, Dallas County District Clerk; and to counsel for all parties. /s/ ADA BROWN JUSTICE
