FRANCISCO JAVIER ZAMARRIPA, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 139th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Longoria and Perkes
Order Per Curiam
This cause is before the Court on appellant's third unopposed motion for extension of time to file the brief. Appellant's brief was originally due to be filed on September 23, 2019, and this Court previously granted appellant two extensions for the filing of appellant's brief in this cause.
The Court, having fully examined and considered appellant's third motion for extension of time to file the brief and the extensions previously granted in this cause, is of the opinion that, in the interest of justice, appellant's third motion for extension of time to file the brief should be granted with order. The Court, however, looks with disfavor upon the delay caused by counsel's failure to have filed a brief in this matter.
Appellant's third motion for extension of time to file the brief is GRANTED, and the Honorable Traci Evans, counsel for appellant, is ORDERED to file the appellate brief with this Court on or before March 30, 2020. No further extensions will be granted in this matter 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. TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(4).
