Order entered August 4, 2014
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-00214-CR
ANTHONY TERRENCE SMITH, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 292nd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-71255-V
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On July 2, 2014, 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 (3) counsel represented that appellant’s brief would be filed
by August 18, 2014.
We ORDER appellant to file his brief by AUGUST 18, 2014. Because the brief is
already almost three months overdue, no further extensions will be granted. If appellant’s brief
is not filed by the date specified, the Court will order that William Barr be removed as
appellant’s appointed attorney and will order the trial court to appoint new counsel to represent
appellant in this appeal.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the
Honorable Lawrence Mitchell, Presiding Judge, 292nd Judicial District Court, and to counsel for
all parties.
