ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On January 21, 2014, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why the reporter's record has not been filed. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant was convicted of a Class C misdemeanor and is not entitled to court-appointed counsel; (2) appellant signed a form entitled "waiver and explanation of rights"; (3) appellant waived the recording of the proceedings; (4) appellant filed a notice of appeal, but did not respond to the letter from the Truancy Court regarding whether she desired to continue the appeal; and (5) no affidavit of indigence was filed by appellant. We note that appellant, who is representing herself in this appeal, has not communicated with the Court regarding the appeal.
Accordingly, we ORDER appellant to file her brief by MARCH 31, 2014. If appellant's brief is not filed by the date specified, the Court will, without further notice, submit the appeal without briefs. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(4); Lott v. State, 874 S.W.2d 687 (Tex. Crim. App. 1994).
