In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-12-01116-CR

CYNTHIA LORRAINE WHITAKER, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2 Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 002-80229-2012

ORDER The Court REINSTATES the appeal.

On December 12, 2012, 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 not indigent and is represented by retained counsel Deric King

Walpole; (3) counsel has not abandoned the appeal; and (4) appellant’s brief will be filed by

March 27, 2013.

We ORDER appellant to file her brief by MARCH 27, 2013. Because appellant’s brief

is already four months overdue, no further extensions will be granted. If appellant’s brief is not

filed by the date specified, we will, without further notice, submit the appeal without briefs. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(4). We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to

counsel for all parties.
