                                 Court of Appeals

                              THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                      On Appeal from the 366th Judicial District Court
                                   Collin County, Texas
                          Trial Court Cause No. 366-80805-2016

                                           ORDER
       We REINSTATE this appeal.
       We abated the appeal for a hearing to determine why appellant’s brief had not been filed.
On July 3, 2019, appellant filed his brief along with a motion to extend time to file the same. In
the interest of expediting this appeal and because the trial court has not held a hearing, we
VACATE our June 19, 2019 order to the extent it ordered a hearing and required findings. We
GRANT appellant’s motion and ORDER his brief filed as of the date of this order.
       We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Ray Wheless,
Presiding Judge, 366th Judicial District Court; Kristin Brown; and to the Collin County District
Attorney.
       The State’s brief is DUE thirty days from the date of this order.

                                                      /s/   CORY L. CARLYLE
