Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-00936-CR
BEDROS NOBAR MINASSIAN, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F08-54609-P
ORDER
On December 5, 2013, this court ordered the 203rd Judicial District Court trial court to
make findings regarding why appellant’s brief had not been filed and to file a certification of
appellant’s right to appeal that accurately reflects the trial court proceedings. We were later
notified that the case had been transferred to the 194th Judicial District Court at some point after
sentence was imposed. On February 21, 2014, we received appellant’s brief, together with an
extension motion. To date, however, we have not received a certification of appellant’s right to
appeal related to the March 29, 2013 probation revocation proceeding. Nevertheless, in the
interest of expediting the appeal, this is now the order of the Court.
We GRANT the February 21, 2014 extension motion and ORDER appellant’s brief filed
as of the date of this order.
We ORDER the Honorable Earnest White, Presiding Judge of the 194th Judicial District
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 March 29, 2013 probation revocation
proceeding. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d); Cortez v. State, 2013 WL 5220904 (Tex. Crim.
App. Sept. 18, 2013).
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the
Honorable Earnest White, Presiding Judge, 194th Judicial District Court; Lawrence Stokes,
Court Coordinator, 194th Judicial District Court; Deirdre Gill, Chief Clerk, 194th Judicial
District Court; Gary Fitzsimmons, Dallas County District Clerk; the Dallas County District
Clerk’s Office, Criminal Records Division; and to counsel for all parties.
This appeal is ABATED to allow the trial court to comply with the above order. The
appeal shall be reinstated thirty days from the date of this order or when the findings are
received, whichever is earlier.
