DONALD EUGENE LISCOTTI, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 36th District Court of Aransas County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF
Before Justices Rodriguez, Benavides, and Longoria
Order Per Curiam
This cause is currently before the Court on appellant's sixth motion for extension of time to file the brief. The reporter's record was filed on April 5, 2017, and appellant's brief was originally due to be filed thirty days thereafter. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). This Court has previously granted appellant five extensions of time totaling 151 days to file the brief, and appellant now seeks an additional 30 days, until November 2, 2017, to file the brief.
The Court GRANTS appellant's sixth motion for extension to file the brief and ORDERS the Honorable Dasan Roland to file the brief on or before November 2, 2017. The Court looks with disfavor on the delay caused by counsel's failure to timely file a brief in this matter. No further extensions will be granted absent exigent circumstances. If counsel fails to file the brief within the specified period of time, the Court will act appropriately to ensure that appellant's rights are protected. See id. R. 38.8(b)(4).
PER CURIAM Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b). Delivered and filed the 5th day of October, 2017.
