                                THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                       On Appeal from the 363rd Judicial District Court
                                    Dallas County, Texas

                                          ORDER
        The Court REINSTATES the appeals.

        On January 15, 2013, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why

appellant’s brief had not been filed.   On January 23, 2013, we received appellant’s brief,

together with an extension motion. Therefore, in the interest of expediting the appeals, we

VACATE the January 15, 2013 order requiring findings.

        We GRANT the January 23, 2013 extension motion and ORDER appellant’s brief filed

as of the date of this order.
