HUGO SILVA, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

ADA BROWN JUSTICE

On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 4 Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-53639-K

ORDER

The Court REINSTATES the appeal.

On January 12, 2015, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding 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 Kathleen Walsh; (3) Ms. Walsh's explanation for the delay in filing appellant's brief is her workload; and (4) Ms. Walsh requested twenty-one days from the February 9, 2015 findings to file appellant's brief.

We ORDER appellant to file his brief by MARCH 13, 2015. We note that the brief was originally due November 5, 2015, appellant has already been granted one thirty-day extension of time to file his brief, and the brief is now two months overdue. Therefore, no further extensions will be granted.

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