MICHAEL DWAYNE WHITFIELD, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 366th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 366-81954-2022
ORDER
ROBERT D. BURNS, III CHIEF JUSTICE.
We REINSTATE this appeal in order to address appellant's February 15, 2024 third motion for an extension of time of file his brief. We DENY appellant's motion. On February 8, 2024 we issued an order abating this case to the trial court to conduct a hearing on the record to determine why appellant's brief has not been filed. Thus, this appeal is ABATED to allow the trial court to comply with this Court's February 8, 2024, order. The appeal shall be reinstated when the trial court's findings are received or at such other time as the Court deems proper.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Tomas Nowak, Presiding Judge, 366th Judicial District Court; Michael Gould, Collin County District Clerk; Antoinette Varela, Official Court Reporter, 366th District Court; and counsel for all parties
