TORONTO CLAYVERNON WILLIAMS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 70th District Court
Ector County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. A-18-1435-CR & A-18-1436-CR
ORDER
Appellant, Toronto Clayvernon Williams, originally filed a notice of appeal
in our Cause No. 11-19-00172-CR—ostensibly from a judgment of conviction in
trial court cause no. A-18-1435-CR. The judgment of conviction was entered in trial
court cause no. A-18-1436-CR, not A-18-1435-CR. The confusion regarding these
appeals stems from the trial court’s having entered an order consolidating the two
cases into one cause number, trial court cause no. A-18-1435-CR, and later, after the
jury found Appellant guilty of only one of the two charges, entering a judgment of
conviction in A-18-1436-CR. Appellant then filed a notice of appeal in trial court
cause no. A-18-1436-CR, and this court docketed the second appeal as Cause
No. 11-19-00184-CR. Because the judgment that Appellant attempts to appeal in
our Cause No. 11-19-00172-CR was an acquittal, Appellant’s attorney has submitted
a motion to dismiss that appeal. However, counsel has been unable to locate
Appellant to sign the motion as required by TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a).
In order to proceed in an efficient manner in these appeals, this court has
concluded that the appeals should be consolidated. Accordingly, we hereby
consolidate our Cause No. 11-19-00172-CR into our Cause No. 11-19-00184-CR
for all purposes. All future correspondence and filings should bear our docket
number 11-19-00184-CR.
