Order entered March 9, 2015
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-00101-CR
NATALIO JUAREZ, JR., Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 7
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F13-30483-Y
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On January 20, 2015, 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 appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and 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 February 19, 2015 findings to
file appellant’s brief.
Accordingly, we ORDER appellant to file his brief by MARCH 23, 2015. We note
appellant’s brief was originally due November 21, 2015 and appellant has already been granted
one thirty-day extension of time to file his brief. The brief was one month overdue from that
extension period when the appeal was abated. Therefore, no further extensions will be granted.
If appellant’s brief is not filed by the date specified, the Court will utilize the available remedies
to obtain the brief, which may include ordering Nanette Hendrickson removed as counsel and
that the trial court appoint new counsel to represent appellant in this appeal.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the
Honorable Elizabeth Frizell, Presiding Judge, Criminal District Court No. 7; Nanette
Hendrickson; Katherine Drew, Appellate-Chief, Dallas County Public Defender’s Office; and the
Dallas County District Attorney’s Office.
