Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

BENJAMIN ANDERSON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 86th Judicial District Court
Kaufman County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 31815-86
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On January 22, 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 represented by court-appointed counsel Lara
Bracamonte; (3) counsel’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s brief is a severe family
medical crisis; and (4) counsel can file appellant’s brief within thirty days of the February 27,
2014 hearing.
We note that Ms. Bracamonte’s name is not listed on the Court’s case management as
appellant’s attorney. Rather, appellant’s trial counsel is listed.
Accordingly, we DIRECT the Clerk to substitute Lara Bracamonte as appellant’s
appointed attorney of record in place of Michael Harris.
We ORDER appellant to file his brief by APRIL 1, 2014.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to
counsel for all parties.
