On Appeal from the 86th Judicial District Court Kaufman County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 15-10808-86-F
ORDER
We REINSTATE this appeal.
We abated the appeal for a hearing to determine why appellant's brief had not been filed. On January 7, 2019, appellant filed his brief along with a motion to extend time to file the same. In the interest of expediting this appeal and because the trial court has not yet held a hearing, we VACATE our December 21, 2018 order to the extent it ordered a hearing and required findings. We GRANT appellant's motion and ORDER his brief filed as of the date of this order.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send a copy of this order to the Honorable Casey Blair, Presiding Judge, 86th Judicial District Court; John Daniel Oliphant Jr.; and to the Kaufman County District Attorney.
The State's brief is DUE thirty days from the date of this order.
