MICHAEL DWAYNE NEWMAN, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

DAVID EVANS

On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 3

Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. F11-62630-J

ORDER

The Court REINSTATES the appeal.

On September 13, 2013, we ordered the trial court to make findings regard why appellant's brief has not been filed. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant desires to pursue the appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by court-appointed counsel; (3) counsel's explanation for the delay in filing appellant's brief is her workload; and (4) counsel requested two weeks from the October 8, 2013 hearing to file appellant's brief.

We ORDER appellant to file his brief by NOVEMBER 1, 2013. Because appellant's brief is already two months overdue, no further extensions will be granted.

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