Jeremiah Jordan BROWN, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 454th Judicial District Court, Medina County, Texas Trial Court No. 22-03-14361-CR Honorable Daniel J. Kindred, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Luz Elfena D. Chapa, Justice
Appellant's brief was originally due February 1, 2024; however, the court granted an extension of time to file the brief until March 4, 2024. On February 23, 2024, appellant filed a motion requesting until May 4, 2024 to file the brief.
We grant in part the motion and order appellant's attorney, Michael C. Gross, to file the brief by May 1, 2024. Counsel is advised that no further extensions of time will be granted absent a motion, filed by the date the brief is due, that (1) demonstrates extraordinary circumstances justifying further delay, (2) advises the court of the efforts counsel has expended in preparing the brief, and (3) provides the court reasonable assurance that the brief will be completed and filed by the requested extended deadline. The court does not generally consider a heavy work schedule to be an extraordinary circumstance. If the brief or a conforming motion is not filed by the date ordered, the court may 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.
