JOSEPH TODD SMITH, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 366th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 366-80590-2016
ORDER
We REINSTATE this appeal.
Because appellant's brief had not been filed, we abated this appeal for a hearing. On July 14, 2017, we received the trial court's July 12 findings and recommendations. We ADOPT the trial court's findings and recommendations that (1) appellant wants to pursue this appeal, (2) appellate counsel Lara Bracamonte's heavy workload has hindered her completing the brief, and (3) counsel needs an additional thirty days in which to file appellant's brief.
We ORDER appellant's brief filed within thirty days of the date of this order.
