Gerald Edwin HODGES, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 186th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court Nos. 2018CR8989 & 2018CR8986
Honorable Jefferson Moore, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant's brief in these consolidated appeals was originally due September 3, 2019; however, the court granted an extension of time to file the brief until November 7, 2019. Appellant has filed a motion requesting a further extension of time.
We grant the motion and order appellant's attorney, Dean A. Diachin, to file the brief by December 2, 2019 (90 days after the original due date). Counsel is advised that no further extensions of time will be granted absent a motion, filed by the date the brief is due, that (1) demonstrates extraordinary circumstances justifying further delay, (2) advises the court of the efforts counsel has expended in preparing the brief, and (3) provides the court reasonable assurance that the brief will be completed and filed by the requested extended deadline. The court does not generally consider a heavy work schedule to be an extraordinary circumstance.
