On Appeal from the 363rd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. F06-19538-W

ORDER

The Court REINSTATES the appeal.

On July 25, 2014, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why appellant’s brief has not been filed. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant is indigent and represented by court-appointed counsel Julie Woods; (2) In reviewing the record, Ms. Woods determined that the record of the May 10, 2010 suppression hearing was not included in the reporter’s record filed on December 19, 2013 by court reporter Susan Tabaee; (3) Darline LaBar confirmed that she recorded the suppression hearing and she would file the record by August 9, 2014; and (4) Ms. Woods requested thirty days from the August 25, 2014 hearing to file appellant’s brief.

We received the reporter’s record of the May 10, 2010 suppression hearing on August 26, 2014, together with Ms. LaBar’s extension request. We GRANT the extension request. The supplemental reporter’s record is considered properly filed.

We ORDER appellant to file his brief within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this order.
