On Appeal from the County Criminal Court of Appeals No. 2 Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. M0474358
ORDER
We REINSTATE this appeal which we abated to allow the trial court to clarify whether it intended to enter a final judgment. A supplemental clerk's record containing a copy of the trial court's order denying appellant's petition for nondisclosure has now been filed.
As the appellate record appears complete, we ORDER appellant to file his opening brief no later than October 17, 2019. Because the Court has previously determined that an order denying a petition for non-disclosure is not an appealable order, appellant shall address in his brief on the merits whether the minimum threshold amount in controversy is established such that the Court has jurisdiction over the appeal under the constitution's general jurisdictional grant. See TEX. CONST. art. V., § 6; TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.220(a); TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.012; Browning v. State, No. 05-08-01381-CV, 2009 WL 294909 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2009, no pet.).
