ZACHARY ELLIOT CALLENS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 219th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. 219-82261-2015 & 219-82262-2015
ORDER
We REINSTATE these appeals.
Because appellant’s brief had not been filed despite having been granted three extensions
of time, we abated these appeals for a hearing. On July 7, 2017, we received the trial court’s
July 6 findings and recommendations. We ADOPT the trial court’s findings and
recommendations that (1) appellate counsel Kristen Brown has been working in a diligent
manner, (2) these appeals have large appellate records requiring additional time to review, and
(3) Ms. Brown needs an additional forty-five days in which to file appellant’s brief.
We ORDER appellant’s brief filed within forty-five days of the date of this order.
