Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-12-01488-CR
No. 05-12-01489-CR
JUAN RAMON HERNANDEZ, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 1
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F12-19054-H, F12-19055-H
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeals.
On August 21, 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) counsel’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s brief is his
workload; and (3) counsel asked for forty-five days from the September 23, 2013 hearing to file
appellant’s brief.
We ORDER appellant to file his brief by NOVEMBER 14, 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 J. Daniel Oliphant removed as appellant’s
appointed counsel and will order the trial court to appoint new counsel to represent appellant in
these appeals.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the
Honorable Robert Burns, Presiding Judge, Criminal District Court No. 1, and to counsel for all
parties.
