MICHAEL DOWDEN, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F88-86404-M, F88-89370-M

ORDER

The Court REINSTATES the appeal.

On February 5, 2015, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding whether the record could be supplemented with appellant's pro se motion for DNA testing. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) the Dallas County District Clerk's Office could not locate the motion for DNA testing; and (2) a copy of the motion was located by the parties, and they entered a written stipulation that it is the motion and should be included in the record. Attached to the findings are the parties' stipulation and a copy of the motion for DNA testing.

Appellate counsel filed an Anders brief. Appellant's pro se response, if he chooses to file one, is due by MAY 15, 2015.

We DIRECT the Clerk to send a copy of this order and a copy of the supplement clerk's record filed on April 1, 2015 to Michael Dowden, TDCJ No. 1738563, Estelle United, 264 F.M. 3478, Huntsville, Texas 77320.

We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to counsel for all parties.
