COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE
                            FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON

                                      MEMORANDUM ORDER

Appellate case name:      Javier Noel Campos v. The State of Texas

Appellate case numbers: 01-13-00415-CR; 01-13-00416-CR; 01-13-00417-CR

Trial court case numbers: 1328806; 1328807; 1308988

Trial court:              184th District Court, Harris County

       On January 13, 2015, this Court issued its opinion affirming the judgment of the trial
court. See Campos v. State, 458 S.W.3d 120 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2015, pet.
granted). On July 29, 2015, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals vacated our judgment and
remanded the case to this Court for reconsideration in light of Meadows v. State, 455 S.W.3d 166
(Tex. Crim. App. 2015), which abolished the common-law “tacking” doctrine and requires the
admissibility of remote prior convictions to be determined under Texas Rule of Evidence 609(b).
The Court of Criminal Appeals instructed us to consider the admissibility of the challenged
remote prior conviction “in light of [its] opinion in Meadows.” See Campos v. State, No. PD-
0054-15, 2015 WL 4549744 (Tex. Crim. App. July 29, 2015) (per curiam). The case will be
resubmitted for disposition in accordance with the opinion of the Court of Criminal Appeals.

        As the Court of Criminal Appeals decided Meadows after we issued our opinion in this
case, the effect of that case was not addressed in the original briefs filed in this Court. If
appellant wishes to file a supplemental brief on this issue on remand, it is due thirty days from
the date of this order. See Bell v. State, 956 S.W.2d 560, 561 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997); Theus v.
State, 863 S.W.2d 489, 491 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993) (per curiam). If the State wishes to file a
supplemental brief on this issue, it is due thirty days from the date appellant files his brief. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6 (“The appellee’s brief must be filed within 30 days . . . after the date the
appellant’s brief was filed.”). As the Court of Criminal Appeals explicitly refused with prejudice
grounds 1–8 and grounds 10–13 of appellant’s petition for discretionary review, we will not
entertain further briefing on those issues on remand.
      The case will be set for submission at a future date, and the parties will be notified of the
submission date.

       It is so ORDERED.
