The State of Texas Appellate case number: 01-13-00408-CR; 01-13-00409-CR; 01-13-00410-CR; 01-13-00411-CR Trial court case number: 12CR0748; 12CR0749; 12CR0750; 12CR0751 Trial court: 56th District Court of Galveston County This case was abated and remanded to the trial court for the trial court to determine whether appellant wishes to prosecute this appeal, to determine whether appellant’s counsel had abandoned the appeal, and, if counsel had not abandoned the appeal, to inquire of counsel why appellant’s brief has not yet been filed, to determine whether counsel’s fee has been paid, and to set a date certain when appellant’s counsel must file appellant’s brief. The trial court held a hearing on our abatement order on March 6, 2014, and the trial court clerk and court reporter have filed their respective records of the hearing. The record reflects that the trial court made all necessary findings and then ordered counsel to file a brief on appellant’s behalf by March 27, 2014.

Accordingly, we REINSTATE this case on the Court’s active docket.
