                                             In The
                                 Court of Appeals
                          Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

                         ZACHARY ELLIOT CALLENS, Appellant

                                                V.

                              THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                     On Appeal from the 219th Judicial District Court
                                  Collin County, Texas
                 Trial Court Cause Nos. 219-82261-2015 & 219-82262-2015

                                            ORDER
       We REINSTATE these appeals.

       Because appellant’s brief had not been filed despite having been granted three extensions

of time, we abated these appeals for a hearing. On July 7, 2017, we received the trial court’s

July 6 findings and recommendations.            We ADOPT the trial court’s findings and

recommendations that (1) appellate counsel Kristen Brown has been working in a diligent

manner, (2) these appeals have large appellate records requiring additional time to review, and

(3) Ms. Brown needs an additional forty-five days in which to file appellant’s brief.

       We ORDER appellant’s brief filed within forty-five days of the date of this order.
