*1 Order entered July 18, 2017
In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-16-01180-CR No. 05-16-01181-CR ZACHARY ELLIOT CALLENS, Appellant
V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 219th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. 219-82261-2015 & 219-82262-2015 ORDER We REINSTATE these appeals.
Because appellant’s brief had not been filed despite having been granted three extensions of time, we abated these appeals for a hearing. On July 7, 2017, we received the trial court’s July 6 findings and recommendations. We ADOPT the trial court’s findings and recommendations that (1) appellate counsel Kristen Brown has been working in a diligent manner, (2) these appeals have large appellate records requiring additional time to review, and (3) Ms. Brown needs an additional forty-five days in which to file appellant’s brief.
We ORDER appellant’s brief filed within forty-five days of the date of this order.
