*1 Order entered January 31, 2017
In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-16-00921-CR JARRE JERONCE RHODES, Appellant V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F-1551952-U ORDER The Court REINSTATES this appeal.
On December 27, 2016, we abated this appeal for a hearing on why appellant’s brief had not been filed and ordered the trial court to file findings of fact by January 26, 2017. We have not received the trial court’s findings. However, the Court now has before it the January 26, 2017 motion to extend time to file appellant’s brief and notice of appearance of Juanita Bravo Edgecomb stating she has been appointed to represent appellant in the appeal. Counsel states she seeks a forty-six day extension of time to review records and prepare the brief.
In the interest of expediting the appeal, we deem the notice of representation sufficient to allow this appeal to proceed. We GRANT appellant’s January 26, 2017 motion to the extent we ORDER appellant to file his brief within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this order.
