MARCO ANTONIO CASTILLO ALVARADO, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 292nd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F16-20876-V
ORDER
We REINSTATE this appeal.
We abated the appeal because appellant's brief, initially due May 11, 2019, had not been filed. On August 4, 2019, appellant filed his brief and a motion to extend time to file the same. In the interest of expediting this appeal and because the trial court has not yet scheduled a hearing, we VACATE our July 31, 2019 order to the extent it ordered a hearing and required findings. We GRANT appellant's motion and ORDER his brief filed as of the date of this order.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Brandon Birmingham, Presiding Judge, 292nd Judicial District Court; and to counsel for all parties.
The State's brief is DUE thirty days from the date of this order.
