In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-12-01061-CR
DARRELL DEWAYNE SNEED, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 7
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F11-60730-Y
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On August 20, 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 appeal; (2) appellant is indigent is represented by court-appointed counsel Riann
Moore; (3) Ms. Moore’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s brief is her workload and
that she had been on maternity leave; and (4) Ms. Moore requested thirty days from the October
10, 2013 hearing to file appellant’s brief.
We ORDER appellant to file his brief by NOVEMBER 12, 2013. Because appellant’s
brief is already three months overdue, no further extensions will be granted. If appellant’s brief
is not filed by the date specified, we will order that Riann Moore and the Dallas County Public
Defender’s Office be removed as counsel and order the trial court to appoint a new attorney to
represent appellant in the appeal.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the
Honorable Michael Snipes, Presiding Judge, Criminal District Court No. 7; Katherine Drew,
Appellate Chief, Dallas County Public Defender’s Office; Riann Moore, Dallas County Public
Defender’s Office; and the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office.
