Trial Court Cause Nos. CR15-0124, CR15-0125

ORDER

The Court REINSTATES the appeals.

On October 5, 2015, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why appellant’s briefs had not been filed. On October 21, 2015, we receive extensions motions for both cases. On October 21, 2015, we received appellant’s brief in cause no. 05-15-00410-CR and on October 22, 2015, we received appellant’s brief in cause no. 05-15-00409-CR. Accordingly, we conclude findings are no longer necessary and we VACATE the October 5, 2015 order to the extent it requires findings.

We GRANT the October 21, 2015 extension motions and ORDER appellant’s briefs filed as of the date of this order.

We DENY as moot appellant’s October 6, 2015 extension motions that were filed, without briefs, while the appeals were abated.
