NO. 2010-426,193; HONORABLE JOHN J. MCCLENDON III,
JUDGE

Before QUINN, C.J., and PIRTLE, J., and BOYD, S.J.[1]
ORDER REINSTATING APPEAL
            By
opinion and judgment dated July 26, 2011, this Court dismissed Appellant's
appeal for want of jurisdiction on the ground that he had failed to timely file
a notice of appeal.  On the limited
documents that were on file at the time, this Court found that Appellant had
been sentenced on April 21, 2011, as reflected in the Docketing Statement
filed, and that his Notice of Appeal filed June 22, 2011, was, therefore,
untimely.  It has now come to the
attention of this Court that, while Appellant did enter his plea of guilty on
April 21, 2011, he was not formally sentenced by the trial court until May 31,
2011.  Therefore, Appellant's notice of
appeal was timely filed.  Tex. R. App. P.
26.2(a)(1). 
Conclusion
            Accordingly,
in the interest of justice, we withdraw our opinion and judgment of July 26,
2011, and reinstate Appellant's appeal. 
Because the Reporter's Record has yet to be filed, all briefing
deadlines will be in accordance with the applicable rules of appellate
procedure.  See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6.
            It
is so ordered.
                                                                                    Per Curiam
