In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-15-00143-CR
TORRY GOODSON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 4
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F13-62599-K
ORDER
We REINSTATE this appeal.
Appellant’s brief was due May 21, 2016. By postcard dated May 24, 2016, the Court
notified appellate counsel Jeffrey Buchwald the brief had not been filed and directed him to file
an extension motion along with the brief within ten days. When counsel did not do so, we abated
this case for findings regarding why appellant’s brief had not been filed. We ADOPT the trial
court’s July 25, 2016 findings that Jeffrey Buchwald has been unable to finish the brief in this
case because of his workload and that he should be given forty-five additional days in which to
file the brief. Therefore, we ORDER appellant’s brief filed no later than September 8, 2016.
We caution Mr. Buchwald that further extensions will not be granted. Should he fail to
file a brief by September 8, 2016, the Court will remove Mr. Buchwald as counsel and order the
trial court to appoint new appellate counsel.
