Hung Dasian Truong v. The State of Texas
ORDER OF REINSTATEMENT Trial court case number: 1172979 Trial court: 339th District Court of Harris County, Texas
The trial court reporter has filed with the Clerk of this Court the abatement hearing record that complies with our February 15, 2018 Order of Continuing Abatement. At this hearing, appellant indicated that he wished to pursue the above-captioned appeal of the May 3, 2016 order recommitting appellant to inpatient treatment but that he did not wish to pursue his appeal of the subsequently-entered May 1, 2017 recommitment order. A panel of this Court issued a per curiam opinion dismissing appellant's appeal of the May 1, 2017 recommitment order. We order the above-captioned appeal of the May 3, 2016 recommitment order reinstated on this Court's active docket.
Further, this Court requests additional briefing from the parties on what effect, if any, the trial court's subsequent May 1, 2017 recommitment order has on appellant's appeal from the recommitment order of May 3, 2016. Specifically, the Court requests briefing on how the entry of the May 1, 2017 recommitment order affects the relief that appellant seeks or is able to obtain from the May 3, 2016 recommitment order.
Appellant has fifteen days from the date of this order to respond to this request with a supplemental brief, and the State has an additional ten days to respond to appellant's supplemental brief.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Evelyn V. Keyes
