Alferis Coby v. The State of Texas
ORDER Trial court case number: 1485214 Trial court: 180th District Court of Harris County
Appellant's brief was originally due on January 22, 2019. Appellant's appointed counsel, Inger Chandler, requested and was granted three extensions until April 22, 2019. Appointed counsel filed a fourth request for an extension, which this Court denied, issuing an order for the trial court to hold a hearing to determine why appointed counsel had not filed the brief and to set a deadline for the filing of the brief.
A supplemental reporter's record of the trial court's hearing was filed on May 20, 2019. The trial court found that appellant desired to prosecute his appeal and that appointed counsel had not abandoned the appeal. The trial court set the deadline for the filing of the brief on June 14, 2019. Appointed counsel agreed to file the brief by June 14, 2019, which is more than 140 days from the original due date.
Accordingly, the appeal is reinstated on the active docket and appellant's brief is due on June 14, 2019.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Peter Kelly
