Manuel M. AYALA, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 399th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2019CR9405 Honorable Frank J. Castro, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Appellant's brief was originally due on April 21, 2022. After Appellant did not timely file the brief or a motion for extension of time to file the brief, we ordered Appellant's counsel Patrick B. Montgomery to file a motion for extension of time, a motion to dismiss, or the brief by May 9, 2022. Appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file the brief, which we granted, and we set the brief due on June 8, 2022.
To date, no brief or second motion for extension of time to file the brief has been filed.
We order Patrick B. Montgomery to file a motion for extension of time, a motion to dismiss, or the brief within ten days of the date of this order.
If no brief or motion is filed by that date, we will abate this appeal to the trial court for an abandonment hearing without further notice. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(2).
Appellant's counsel is cautioned that, to protect Appellant's rights, this court may initiate proceedings under Rule 38. See id. R. 38.8(b)(4). 1
