DYLYN REED RICHARDS,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 40th District Court
Ellis County, Texas
Trial Court No. 37254CR
ORDER
Dylyn Reed Richards was convicted of the offense of Intoxication Manslaughter
causing the death of a police officer and was sentenced to 55 years in prison. T EX.
PENAL CODE ANN. §§ 49.08, 49.09(b-2) (West 2011). Due to the receipt of counsel’s
motion to withdraw, we abated this appeal on September 4, 2014 to the trial court to
consider whether Richards is still indigent and if so, whether to discharge Richards’
appointed counsel and to appoint new appellate counsel for Richards.
We have received a supplemental clerk’s record which includes an order holding
that the previous appointed counsel should be allowed to withdraw and appointing
new counsel for Richards on appeal. Accordingly, this appeal is reinstated, former
counsel’s motion to withdraw is dismissed as moot, and the brief by appellant’s new
counsel is due 30 days from the date of this order.
