Opinion

Order entered January 24, 2019

In The

Court of Appeals

Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-00663-CR

No. 05-18-00670-CR

JONATHAN TYRONE MCKELLER, Appellant V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 380th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. 380-81748-2017 & 380-80769-2017

ORDER

We REINSTATE these appeals.

Appellant’s brief was initially due October 25, 2018. When no brief was filed, we abated for a hearing. On January 22, 2019, appellant’s brief and a motion to extend time to file the same were filed.

Because the trial court has not yet held a hearing and in the interest of expediting these appeals, we VACATE our December 21, 2018 order to the extent it requires a hearing and findings. We GRANT appellant’s motion and ORDER the brief received on January 22, 2019 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, 380th Judicial District Court; Kristin Brown; and to the Collin County District Attorney.

The State’s brief is due thirty days from the date of this order.
