MARCEL LAKEIST WILLIAMS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F16-42251-U
ORDER
We REINSTATE this appeal.
We abated for a hearing when appellant's brief was not timely filed. Before the Court is appellant's May 12, 2020 motion for extension of time and his tendered brief. In the interest of expediting this appeal and because the trial court has not held a hearing, we VACATE that portion of our May 11, 2020 order requiring a hearing and findings.
We GRANT appellant's motion and ORDER the brief filed as of the date of this order.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Stephanie Huff, Presiding Judge, 291st Judicial District Court; to John Tatum; and to the Dallas County District Attorney's Office.
