THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee v. THOMAS HUGHES PAGE, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Criminal Court No. 1 Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. MA18-51150-A
ORDER
We REINSTATE this appeal.
We abated the appeal for a hearing to determine whether appellee was entitled to appointed counsel or would hire counsel to represent him. On January 9, 2019, we received the trial court's findings. We ADOPT the findings that appellee (1) wishes to be represented by counsel; (2) is not indigent and will hire retained counsel to represent him; and (3) will inform this Court of the name of retained counsel by the end of January.
In light of the above, we shall consider appellee as proceeding pro se until he provides the Court with written notification that he has hired new counsel. We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to list appellee as proceeding pro se and to send all future notifications to appellee at 5515 LaFoy Blvd., Dallas, TX 75209.
Also before the Court is the State's January 9, 2019 motion for extension of time to file its brief. We GRANT the motion and ORDER the State's brief due on or before February 8, 2019.
