       We REINSTATE this appeal.
       We abated for a hearing to determine why appellant’s brief had not been filed. On

court’s findings that (1) appellant wishes to prosecute this appeal; (2) appellant, who is indigent,
is represented by appointed counsel Cynthia Braddy; and (3) counsel has not abandoned the
appeal and intends to have a brief filed by the end of January 2020.
       We ORDER appellant’s brief filed on or before February 3, 2020.
       We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Keli Aiken,
Presiding Judge, 354th Judicial District Court; to Cynthia L. Braddy; and to the Hunt County
District Attorney’s Office, Appellate Division.
