THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 56th District Court Galveston County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 12-CR-2928 MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant was adjudicated guilty of manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance. See Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.112 (West 2017). On September 19, 2017, this court ordered a hearing to determine why appellant’s counsel had not filed a brief in this appeal.

App. P. 2. Accordingly, we reinstate and dismiss the appeal. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Jamison, Busby, and Donovan. Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b). 2
