ORDER
Appellant's brief was due February 27, 2019, but was not filed. This court notified appellant's counsel of the deficiency on March 4, 2019. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2). Appellant has not filed the brief or a motion requesting an extension of time.
Accordingly, we ORDER appellant to file his brief in this court on or before April 15, 2019. If the brief is not filed on or before the date ordered, we will abate this appeal and remand the case to the trial court for a hearing to determine whether appellant or his counsel has abandoned the appeal.
We further order the clerk of this court to serve this order on counsel by first class United States mail and by certified mail, return receipt requested, with delivery restricted to addressee only, or give other personal notice of this order with proof of delivery.
