Appellate case number: 01-17-00023-CV

In the Matter of R.L. v. The State of Texas
ORDER Trial court case number: 2014-04593J Trial court: 315th District Court of Harris County
This case was abated and remanded to the trial court for the trial court to determine whether appellant wishes to prosecute this appeal, to determine whether appellant's counsel had abandoned the appeal, and, if counsel had not abandoned the appeal, to inquire of counsel why appellant's brief has not yet been filed and to set a date certain when appellant's counsel must file appellant's brief. The trial court held a hearing on our abatement order on September 21, 2017, and the court reporter has filed a record of the hearing. The record reflects that the trial court made all necessary findings and then ordered counsel to file a brief on appellant's behalf by October 21, 2017. Accordingly, we REINSTATE this case on the Court's active docket.
Appellant's brief is ORDERED to be filed by no later than October 21, 2017. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a), (d). No extensions of time to file appellant's brief will be granted.
The State's brief, if any, is ORDERED to be filed within 30 days of the filing of appellant's brief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(b). Judge's signature: /s/ Sherry Radack
