From the County Court, Maverick County, Texas Trial Court No. 31312 Honorable Susan D. Reed, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice.
Appellant, Adan Michel Reyes Alvarado, appeals from an order of the trial court signed on January 5, 2024. Reyes Alvarado filed a notice of appeal in the trial court on February 14, 2024, which was after the deadline of February 5, 2024, but within the fifteen-day extension period provided by rule 26.3. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1), 26.3.
Contemporaneously with his filing of a notice of appeal in the trial court, Reyes Alvarado filed a motion for extension of time to file his notice of appeal in this court. In his motion, Reyes Alvarado explained that the delay in filing his notice of appeal was not deliberate or intentional but was due to inadvertence or mistake. See Castillo v. State, 369 S.W.3d 196, 201 n.22 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012); Rodman v. State, 47 S.W.3d 545, 548 (Tex. App.-Amarillo 2000, no pet.).
Accordingly, the court GRANTS the motion and DEEMS Reyes Alvarado's notice of appeal timely filed.
