SANDRA MARIBEL ARROYO, Appellant, v. CRISTO REY GARZA, Appellee.
On appeal from the County Court at Law No. 5 of Hidalgo County, Texas. ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF Before Justices Rodriguez, Longoria, and Hinojosa
Order Per Curiam
This cause is before the Court on appellant's second motion for extension of time to file the brief. Appellant's brief was originally due to be filed on November 27, 2017, and this Court has previously granted appellant an extension for the filing of appellant's brief in this cause. Appellant has now filed his second motion requesting an additional ninety days to file the appellate brief in this cause.
The Court, having fully examined and considered appellant's second motion for extension of time to file the brief and the extension previously granted in this cause, is of the opinion that, in the interest of justice, appellant's second 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 second motion for extension of time to file the brief is hereby granted, and the Honorable Alfredo Morales Jr., counsel for appellant, is hereby ORDERED to file the appellate brief with this Court on or before May 14, 2018. No further extensions will be granted absent exigent circumstances.
PER CURIAM Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b). Delivered and filed the 23rd day of February, 2018.
