David Edric Kropf v. State

Order entered December 8, 2017 In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-17-00035-CR No. 05-17-00036-CR DAVID EDRIC KROPF, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 416th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. 416-81382-2012 & 416-82049-2014 ORDER We REINSTATE these appeals. When appellant failed to provide us with written verification that he had requested the reporter’s record, we ordered the appeals submitted without the reporter’s record. In August, we abated these appeals for a hearing to determine why appellant’s brief had not been filed. On November 16, 2017, we received the trial court’s findings of fact. We ADOPT the trial court’s finding that (1) appellant appeared at a hearing on November 16, 2017, accompanied by appellate counsel; and (2) appellant announced he did not wish to proceed with the appeals. We ORDER these appeals submitted without briefs as of the date of this order to a panel consisting of Justices Lang, Brown, and Whitehill. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(c), 38.8(b)(4). An opinion will issue in due course. /s/ LANA MYERS JUSTICE
