       The Court REINSTATES the appeal.

       On August 6, 2014, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why appellant’s

brief has not been filed. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant appeared at the hearing; (2)

appellant indicated that he would like to pursue the appeal, but could not afford an attorney; (3)

the trial court allowed appellant to apply for court-appointed counsel with the Collin County

Indigent Defense Office; (4) after appellant completed an Indigency Flow Sheet, he was found to

not be indigent; and (5) when appellant learned he was no indigent, he stated he would abandon

the appeal.

       We ORDER the appeal submitted without briefs as of September 2, 2014 to a panel

consisting of Justices Bridges, Lang, and Evans. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(4).
       We DIRECT the Clerk to send a copy of this order, by first-class mail, to Shatto

Coleman, 3009 Misty Way, Wylie, Texas 75908.

       We DIRECT the Clerk to send a copy of the order, by electronic transmission, to the
