RICHARD GOODWIN, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 435th District Court
Montgomery County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 11-10-11611 CR
ORDER
In a supplemental brief filed on September 11, 2013, Richard Goodwin complains that the judge who heard his motion to suppress did not sign the findings of fact and conclusions of law. As our prior order noted, findings of fact and conclusions of law made by the judge who conducted the hearing on the motion to suppress may aid this Court's review of the issues raised in the appellant's brief. See State v. Cullen, 195 S.W.3d 696, 699 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006).
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the appeal is ABATED and the case is REMANDED to the judge who conducted the hearing on the motion to suppress to make findings of fact and conclusions of law on the trial court's essential findings on the issues raised in the hearing of the appellant's motion to suppress. See Tex. R. App. P. 44.4. The supplemental clerk's record containing the trial court's findings of fact and conclusions of law are due to be filed in this Court by September 23, 2013. See Tex. R. App. P. 34.5(c)(2). All appellate timetables are suspended pending filing of the supplemental clerk's record with this Court. The parties may address the trial court's findings of fact and conclusions of law in supplemental briefs. The appellant's supplemental brief is due fifteen days after the supplemental clerk's record is filed. The appellee's supplemental brief is due fifteen days after the appellant files his supplemental brief. Requests for briefing extensions will be strongly disfavored.
