Bryan Saunders v. State

Abatement Order filed February 26, 2015
In The
Fourteenth Court of Appeals
____________
NO. 14-14-00508-CR
____________
BRYAN SAUNDERS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Criminal Court at Law No. 14
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1929966
ABATEMENT ORDER
Appellant challenges the trial court’s order denying his motion to suppress.
Although appellant requested findings of fact and conclusions of law, none have
been filed. When the losing party on a motion to suppress requests findings of fact
and conclusions of law, the trial court is required to make them. State v. Cullen,
195 S.W.3d 696, 698–99 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006).
Accordingly, the trial court is directed to reduce to writing its findings of
fact and conclusions of law on the denial of appellant’s motion to suppress and
have a supplemental clerk’s record containing those findings filed with the clerk of
this court on or before March 24, 2015.
The appeal is abated, treated as a closed case, and removed from this court’s
active docket. The appeal will be reinstated on this court’s active docket when the
trial court’s findings and recommendations are filed in this court. The court will
also consider an appropriate motion to reinstate the appeal filed by either party.
