THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 199th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. 199-82866-2012, 199-81976-2011
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeals.
On December 19, 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 appeals; (2) appellant is not indigent and is represented by retained counsel; (3)
counsel’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s brief is his workload; and (4) counsel
told the trial court the brief would be filed on January 15, 2014.
We have not yet received appellant’s brief. Accordingly, we ORDER appellant to file his
brief within FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order. If the brief is not filed within the time
specified, the Court will, without further notice, submit the appeals without briefs. See Tex. R.
App. P. 38.8(b).
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to
counsel for all parties.
