Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-16-00921-CR
JARRE JERONCE RHODES, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F-1551952-U
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES this appeal.
On December 27, 2016, we abated this appeal for a hearing on why appellant’s brief had
not been filed and ordered the trial court to file findings of fact by January 26, 2017. We have
not received the trial court’s findings. However, the Court now has before it the January 26,
2017 motion to extend time to file appellant’s brief and notice of appearance of Juanita Bravo
Edgecomb stating she has been appointed to represent appellant in the appeal. Counsel states she
seeks a forty-six day extension of time to review records and prepare the brief.
In the interest of expediting the appeal, we deem the notice of representation sufficient to
allow this appeal to proceed. We GRANT appellant’s January 26, 2017 motion to the extent we
ORDER appellant to file his brief within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this order.
