                      On Appeal from the County Criminal Court No. 3
                                   Dallas County, Texas

                                             ORDER
       The Court REINSTATES the appeal.

       On April 12, 2016, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why appellant’s

brief has not been filed. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant desires to pursue the

appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by court-appointed counsel Jeffery Buchwald;

(3) counsel’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s brief is his workload; and (4)

appellant’s brief will be filed within thirty days of the April 15, 2016 findings.

       We ORDER appellant to file his brief by MAY 20, 2016.

       We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to counsel for all parties.
