LEROY KILLIAN ARISTA, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 206th District Court
of Hidalgo County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF
Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Perkes
Order Per Curiam
This cause is currently before the Court on appellant's second unopposed extension of time to file the brief. The reporter's record was filed on January 21, 2014, 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 one extension of time totaling ninety days to file the brief, and appellant now seeks an additional sixty days, until July 21, 2014, to file the brief.
The Court GRANTS appellant's second unopposed motion to file the brief and ORDERS the Honorable Cynthia E. Orr to file the brief on or before July 21, 2014. 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). The Clerk of this Court is ORDERED to serve a copy of this order on the Honorable Cynthia E. Orr by certified mail, return receipt requested.
PER CURIAM Do not publish.
