Opinion
Order entered March 14, 2013
In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-12-00842-CR COURTLAND WAYNE KING, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F11-59371-U ORDER The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On January 18, 2013, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why appellant’s brief has not been filed. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant desires to pursue the appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by court-appointed counsel; (3) counsel’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s brief is his workload and a recent illness; and (4) counsel requested fifteen additional days to complete the brief.
We ORDER appellant to file his brief by APRIL 1, 2013. Because the brief is already three months overdue, no further extensions will be granted. If appellant’s brief is not filed by the date specified, we will order Jeff Buchwald removed as appellant’s attorney and order the trial court to appoint new counsel to represent appellant in this appeal.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission to the Honorable Susan Hawk, Presiding Judge, 291st Judicial District Court, and to counsel for all parties.
