EX PARTE JOO LEE
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 1 Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. WX15-90043-H, WX15-90044-H, WX15-90045-H
ORDER
The Court has received appellant's notice of appeal from the trial court's order denying his pretrial application for writ of habeas corpus raising double jeopardy in these cases. These are accelerated criminal appeals. See TEX. R. APP. P. 31.
We ORDER the trial court to prepare and file with the Dallas County District Clerk, within TEN DAYS of the date of this order, certifications of appellant's right to appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d); Cortez v. State, 420 S.W.3d 803 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013).
We ORDER the Dallas County District Clerk to file, within FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order, the clerk's records containing all of the documents related to appellant's application for writ of habeas corpus.
We ORDER appellant to file his brief by JANUARY 15, 2016. We ORDER the State to file its brief by FEBRUARY 1, 2016. In their briefs, the parties are directed to address this Court's jurisdiction over the appeals. See Hargett v. State, 819 S.W.2d 866 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991) (no appellate jurisdiction where trial court does not rule on merits of application); Ex parte Bowers, 36 S.W.3d 926 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2001, pet. ref'd). If any party does not file its brief, the appeal will be submitted without that party's brief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 31.1.
The Court will set the appeal for submission after it has received the record and the parties' briefs, or the time for briefing has passed.
