ORDER
We REINSTATE this appeal.
We abated the appeal for a hearing in the trial court. A supplemental clerk’s record with
the trial court’s findings was filed. We ADOPT the trial court’s findings that appointed counsel
Sharita Blacknall (1) filed an Anders brief on May 1, 2019, (2) sent appellant a copy of the
clerk’s and reporter’s records on March 8, 2019, and (3) notified appellant of his right to file a
pro se response to the Anders brief and his pro se right to seek discretionary review in the event
the Court declares his appeal frivolous. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319–20 (Tex. Crim.
App. 2014). On August 7, 2019, Ms. Blacknall filed a motion to withdraw as counsel in this
Court. The appeal will be submitted in due course.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send a copy of this order to the Honorable Nancy Kennedy,
Presiding Judge, Criminal District Court No. 2; to counsel Sharita Blacknall; and to the Dallas
County District Attorney.
