VANESA AGUILAR, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 4 Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F13-51857-K, F13-51858-K, F13-51859-K
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On July 8, 2015, the Court granted the motion of Kathleen Walsh to withdraw as counsel and ordered the trial court to appoint new counsel to represent appellant on these appeals. To date, we have not received the order appointing new counsel, nor have we received a response to either of two letters inquiring about the status of the order appointing new counsel. The appeals cannot proceed until the trial court has appointed new counsel for appellant.
Accordingly, we ORDER the Honorable Dominique Collins, Presiding Judge of the Criminal District Court No. 4, to appoint new counsel to represent appellant on these appeals. We further ORDER the Honorable Dominique Collins to transmit the order appointing new counsel to this Court within TEN DAYS of the date of this order.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Dominique Collins, Presiding Judge, Criminal District Court No. 4; Felicia Pitre, Dallas County District Clerk; and the Dallas County District Attorney's Office.
We ABATE the appeals to allow the Honorable Dominique Collins to comply with this order. The appeals shall be reinstated ten days from the date or this order or when the order appointing new counsel is received.
