ORDER
We REINSTATE this appeal.
In an order dated June 23, 2015, the Court abated the appeal to allow the trial court to
make findings of fact and conclusions of law. On July 20, 2015, the Court received a
supplemental clerk’s record containing the trial court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law.
On July 16, 2015, appellant filed with the trial court a request for additional or amended
findings of fact and conclusions of law. See TEX. R. APP. P. 298. Before the Court is appellant’s
July 17, 2015 opposed motion requesting a thirty-day extension of the abatement. The trial court
must make any additional or amended findings of fact and conclusions of law by Monday, July
27, 2015. See TEX. R. APP. P. 298. Accordingly, we GRANT appellant’s motion TO THE
EXTENT that we will abate the appeal for a period of ten days from the date of this order.
Assuming the trial court makes additional or amended findings of fact and conclusions of
law, we ORDER Felicia Pitre, Dallas County District Clerk, to file, within TWENTY DAYS of
the date of this order, a supplemental clerk’s record containing the trial court’s additional or
amended findings of fact and conclusions of law.
We DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to send a copy of this order by electronic
transmission to the Honorable Jim Jordan, Judge of the 160th Judicial District Court, Ms. Pitre,
and all counsel of record.
We ABATE this appeal to allow the trial court to make any additional or amended
findings of fact and conclusions of law. The appeal will be reinstated in TEN DAYS from the
date of this order.
