[ ] Denied
[ ] Dismissed (e.g., want of jurisdiction, moot)
[v] Other: __________
Because appellant failed to timely file his brief, which was due by December 14, 2015, after the clerk's record was filed on November 12, 2015, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant on December 30, 2015, that his appeal was subject to dismissal unless he filed a brief and extension within 10 days of that notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a)(1), (d). However, because appellant is pro se and seeks time to retain counsel, his motion for extension of time to file his brief is granted in part for 90 days, but no further extensions will be granted given the length of the extension. See id. 10.5(b)(1)(B), (C). Accordingly, if appellant's brief is not filed by March 14, 2016, this appeal may be dismissed without further notice. See id. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3.
