Trial Court Cause No. 401-83406-2017

ORDER

We REINSTATE this appeal.

On January 30, 2020, we abated for a hearing to determine why appellant’s brief has not been filed. On March 4, 2020, a supplemental clerk’s record with findings and recommendations was filed. We ADOPT the trial court’s findings that (1) appellant wishes to prosecute this appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and is represented by appointed counsel; (3) counsel was diligent but needed additional time; and (4) a brief was tendered to the Court on February 27, 2020.

As noted by the trial court, the brief was tendered on February 27, and a motion to extend time to file the brief was filed March 3, 2020. We GRANT the motion and ORDER appellant’s brief filed as of the date of this order.

We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Benjamin Smith, Presiding Judge, 401st Judicial District Court; to Lara Bracamonte Davila, and to the Collin County District Attorney’s Office.
