JERRY LEE ALVAREZ, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 214th District Court of Nueces County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF
Before Justices Benavides, Hinojosa, and Perkes
Order Per Curiam
This cause is currently before the Court on appellant's unopposed third amended motion for extension of time to file the brief. The clerk's record was filed on January 30, 2019, 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 two extensions of time totaling 122 days to file the brief, and appellant now seeks an additional 30 days, until August 1, 2019, to file the brief.
The Court GRANTS appellant's unopposed third amended motion for extension to file the brief and ORDERS the Honorable Sandra Eastwood to file the brief on or before August 1, 2019. 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PER CURIAM Do not publish.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 10th day of July, 2019.
