Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-00441-CR
CHRISTOPHER M. DUNLOP, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 296th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 296-82462-2012
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On October 24, 2014, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why the
reporter’s record had not been filed. On November 19, 2014, we received the reporter’s record.
Therefore, in the interest of expediting the appeal, we VACATE the October 24, 2014 order to
the extent it requires findings.
Appellant’s brief is due within thirty days of the date of this order.
The October 24, 2014 order also required the trial court to prepare and file a certification
of appellant’s right to appeal. To date, we have not received the certification, which is required
in every case in which the defendant appeals. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d); Cortez v. State,
420 S.W.3d 803 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013).
Accordingly, we ORDER the trial court to prepare and file, within FIFTEEN DAYS of
the date of this order, a certification of appellant’s right to appeal that accurately reflects the trial
court proceedings.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the
Honorable John Roach, Jr., Presiding Judge, 296th Judicial District Court; the Collin County
District Clerk; and to counsel for all parties.
