          The Court REINSTATES the appeal.

          On January 22, 2015, 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 had intended to retain counsel; (3) appellant presented evidence

to the trial court regarding his financial status and the trial court has found appellant is indigent;

and (4) the Dallas County Public Defender’s Office has been appointed to represent appellant on

appeal.

          We DIRECT the Clerk to add Katherine Drew, Appellate-Chief, Dallas County Public

Defender’s Office, as appellant’s appointed attorney of record.
         We ORDER appellant to file his brief within FORTY-FIVE DAYS of the date of this

order.

         We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to

Katherine Drew and Lori Ordiway.
