Order entered August 20, 2018 CTS [pic] In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-00073-CR No. 05-18-00074-CR Jaccari D. Jones, Appellant V. The State of Texas, Appellee On Appeal from the 292nd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. F16-00673-V & F16-39215-V ORDER We REINSTATE these appeals. Because appellant had not filed his brief (originally due April 8, 2018), we abated these appeals for a hearing. The trial court conducted a hearing to determine why appellant’s brief had not been filed and made findings. We ADOPT the trial court’s findings that (1) appellant desires to prosecute these appeals; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by Kristin Brown; (3) Ms. Brown did not appear at the hearing although she “communicated via e-mail” and informed the trial court she has not abandoned the appeals; and (4) Ms. Brown said she failed to file a timely brief “due to her heavy appellate docket and trial workload.” In light of this, we ORDER appellant’s brief filed on or before September 21, 2018. If appellant’s brief is not filed by the date specified, the Court will utilize the remedies available to it, which may include ordering that Kristin Brown be removed as appellant’s appointed attorney without further notice and ordering the trial court to appoint new counsel to represent appellant on appeal. We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the Honorable Brandon Birmingham, Presiding Judge, 292nd Judicial District Court; Kristin Brown; and the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office. /s/ CRAIG STODDART JUSTICE
