No. 05-14-01309-CR

GERARDO DELACRUZ, Appellant V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. F13-21654-R, F12-22418-R

ORDER

The Court REINSTATES the appeals.

On May 19, 2015, 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 appeals; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by court-appointed counsel Nanette Hendrickson; (3) counsel’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s brief is her workload; and (4) counsel requested thirty days from the June 15, 2015 findings to file appellant’s brief.

We ORDER appellant to file his brief by JULY 15, 2015. We note that appellant’s brief was originally due March 28, 2015 and counsel has already been granted one thirty-day extension of time to file the brief. Therefore, no further extensions will be granted absent a showing of extraordinary circumstances.
