RE: SECOND STATUS REQUEST

05-14-01468-CR, Clarence Hines v. The State of Texas Dear Judge Frizell:

On August 10, 2015, the Court ordered the trial court to make findings regarding the jury charges and verdicts for both the guilt and punishment phases of trial. On August 14, 2015, we received a supplemental clerk’s record containing the jury charge and verdict form for the punishment phase. However, the supplemental clerk’s record does not contain the jury charge or verdict form from the guilt phase. To date, we have not received the trial court’s findings or the jury charge and verdict from the guilt phase, nor have we received a response to our previous letter inquiring about the status of the findings. The appeal cannot proceed until the matter of the guilt phase jury charge and verdict is resolved and I have been instructed to follow up on the matter. Therefore, please notify us of the status of the findings within SEVEN DAYS of the date of this letter. We appreciate your assistance with this matter.

Sincerely, /s/ Lisa Matz, Clerk of the Court cc: Felicia Pitre, Dallas County District Clerk
