Vernon Allen Hulme v. State ( 2015 )

Order entered December 10, 2015
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-15-00817-CR
VERNON ALLEN HULME, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 199th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 199-81996-2014
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On October 27, 2015, we ordered the trial court to prepare a certification of appellant’s
right to appeal that accurately reflects the trial court proceedings and to make findings regarding
why appellant’s brief had not been filed. We have not received the completed certification or the
findings. However, on December 9, 2015, we received appellant’s brief, together with an
extension motion. Therefore, in the interest of expediting the appeal, we VACATE the October
27, 2015 order to the extent it requires findings on the brief.
We note that appellant was convicted of multiple counts of indecency with a child.
Appellant’s brief identifies the complaining witness by her full name. Accordingly, we
STRIKE the appellant’s brief tendered on December 9, 2015. We ORDER appellant to file,
within TEN DAYS of the date of this order, an amended brief that identifies the complaining
witness by her initials only.
We DENY as moot the December 9, 2015 extension motion.
We ORDER the trial court to prepare and file with this Court, within TEN DAYS of the
date of this order, a completed certification of appellant’s right to appeal that accurately reflects
the trial court proceedings. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d); Cortez v. State, 420 S.W.3d 803
(Tex. Crim. App. 2013).
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Angela Tucker,
Presiding Judge, 199th Judicial District Court, and to counsel for all parties.
