THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 380th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. 380-81748-2017 & 380-80769-2017 ORDER We REINSTATE these appeals. Appellant’s brief was initially due October 25, 2018. When no brief was filed, we abated for a hearing. On January 22, 2019, appellant’s brief and a motion to extend time to file the same were filed. Because the trial court has not yet held a hearing and in the interest of expediting these appeals, we VACATE our December 21, 2018 order to the extent it requires a hearing and findings. We GRANT appellant’s motion and ORDER the brief received on January 22, 2019 filed as of the date of this order. We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Benjamin Smith, Presiding Judge, 380th Judicial District Court; Kristin Brown; and to the Collin County District Attorney.
