WELDON BOYCE BRIDGES, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 159th District Court
Angelina County, Texas
Trial Court No. CR-27979
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Weldon Boyce Bridges appeals from the denial of his Motion for Forensic DNA Testing. The order denying his motion was signed May 25, 2012, his notice of appeal was filed June 11, the clerk's record was filed August 1, and a supplemental clerk's record was filed August 23. Appellant's brief was originally due September 24. We granted Bridges three extensions of his briefing deadline, the last of which resulted in a due date of December 27. We warned Bridges at that time that "[n]o more extensions will be granted." On January 29, 2013, our clerk's office sent Bridges a late brief notice giving him until February 8 to file his brief or risk dismissal of his appeal for want of prosecution or for failure to follow the directives of this Court. While Bridges has been prolific in his filings with this Court, he has not filed the appellant brief in this matter.
Originally appealed to the Twelfth Court of Appeals, this case was transferred to this Court by the Texas Supreme Court pursuant to its docket equalization efforts. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 73.001 (West 2005). We are unaware of any conflict between precedent of the Twelfth Court of Appeals and that of this Court on any relevant issue. See TEX. R. APP. P. 41.3.
Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 42.3(b) and (c), we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See Rodriguez v. State, 970 S.W.2d 133 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 1998, pet. ref'd).
