Alaa Mohamamd Weiss v. State ( 2019 )

Order entered September 17, 2019
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-18-00985-CV
ALAA MOHAMAMD WEISS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Criminal Court of Appeals No. 2
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. M0474358
ORDER
We REINSTATE this appeal which we abated to allow the trial court to clarify whether
it intended to enter a final judgment. A supplemental clerk’s record containing a copy of the trial
court’s order denying appellant’s petition for nondisclosure has now been filed.
As the appellate record appears complete, we ORDER appellant to file his opening brief
no later than October 17, 2019. Because the Court has previously determined that an order
denying a petition for non-disclosure is not an appealable order, appellant shall address in his
brief on the merits whether the minimum threshold amount in controversy is established such
that the Court has jurisdiction over the appeal under the constitution’s general jurisdictional
grant. See TEX. CONST. art. V., § 6; TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.220(a); TEX. CIV. PRAC. &
REM. CODE ANN. § 51.012; Browning v. State, No. 05-08-01381-CV, 2009 WL 294909 (Tex.
App.—Dallas 2009, no pet.).
