In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-00119-CR
RYAN WALLACE, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F10-73110-R
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On August 9, 2013, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why appellant’s
brief has not been filed. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant desires to pursue the
appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by court-appointed counsel Nanette
Hendrickson; (3) Ms. Hendrickson’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s brief is her
workload; and (4) Ms. Hendrickson requested thirty days from the September 9, 2013 hearing to
file appellant’s brief.
We ORDER appellant to file his brief by OCTOBER 9, 2013. Because appellant’s brief
is already two months overdue, not further extensions will be granted. If appellant’s brief is not
filed by the date specified, we will order Nanette Hendrickson and the Dallas County Public
Defender’s Office removed as counsel and order the trial court to appoint new counsel to
represent appellant in the appeal.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the
Honorable Mark Stoltz, Presiding Judge, 265th Judicial District Court; Katherine Drew,
Appellate-Chief, Dallas County Public Defender’s Office; Nanette Hendrickson, Dallas County
Public Defender’s Office; and the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office.
