In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-12-01666-CR
No. 05-12-01667-CR
ERASMO GARCIA, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 7
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F11-58343-Y, F10-61584-Y
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeals.
On July 8, 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 is 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 August 6, 2013 hearing to file
appellant’s brief.
We ORDER appellant to file his brief by SEPTEMBER 5, 2013. Because counsel has
already been granted one extension and the brief is now two months overdue, no further
extensions will be granted. If the brief is not filed by the date specified, we 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 this 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; Nanette Hendrickson, Dallas County
Public Defender’s Office; and to the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office.
