Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-12-01079-CR
No. 05-12-01080-CR
KEITH BRONSHA PAUL, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 7
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F11-41122-Y, F10-42448-Y
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeals.
On September 11, 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 indigent and represented by court-appointed counsel Nanette
Hendrickson; (3) Ms. Hendrickson’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s brief is her
workload; and (4) Ms. Hendrickson requested thirty days from the October 15, 2013 hearing to
file appellant’s brief.
We ORDER appellant to file his brief by NOVEMBER 14, 2013. Because appellant’s
brief is already two months overdue, no further extensions will be granted. If appellant’s brief is
not filed by the date specified, the Court will order Nanette Hendrickson and the Dallas County
Public Defender’s Office removed as counsel and will order the trial court to appoint a new
attorney to represent appellant in the appeals.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of the order, by electronic transmission, to the
Honorable Michael Snipes, Presiding Judge, Criminal District Court No. 7, and to counsel for all
parties.
