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.
