COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON ORDER Appellate case name: John Laurie Bush, Jr. v. The State of Texas Appellate case number: 01-18-00357-CR Trial court case number: 221956 Trial court: County Criminal Court at Law No. 1 of Brazoria County On April 30, 2019, this case was abated and remanded to the trial court to determine whether appellant wished to prosecute the appeal and, if so, whether or not appellant should be appointed counsel. On May 15, 2019, the trial court held a hearing on our abatement order but appellant failed to appear. The supplemental clerk’s record contains the trial court’s written findings of fact that appellant is not indigent, but he has not made the necessary arrangements for filing a brief.
Accordingly, we REINSTATE this case on the Court’s active docket. The case will be set for submission and considered without briefs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(4) (“If the trial court has found that the appellant . . . is not indigent but has not made the necessary arrangements for filing a brief, the appellate court may consider the appeal without briefs, as justice may require.”); see also Ayala v.
