Torry Goodson v. State

Opinion

Order entered October 6, 2015

In The

Court of Appeals

Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-15-00143-CR

TORRY GOODSON, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 4 Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. F13-62599-K

ORDER

The Court REINSTATES the appeal.

On August 28, 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 appeal; (2) appellant is represented by retained counsel Jeffery Buchwald; (3) counsel has not abandoned the appeal; (4) counsel’s explanation for the delay in filing the brief is his workload; and (5) counsel requested forty-five days from the September 29, 2015 findings to file appellant’s brief.

We ORDER appellant to file his brief by NOVEMBER 13, 2015. Because the brief is now three months overdue from its original due date, no further extensions will be granted. If appellant’s brief is not filed by the date specified, we will, without further notice, submit the appeal without briefs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(4).

We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to counsel for all parties.
