EX PARTE Ismael JUAREZ-RICO
From the County Court, Jim Hogg County, Texas Trial Court No. 1033C Honorable Greg Perkes, Judge Presiding
ORDER
IRENE RIOS, JUSTICE
On December 18, 2023, we notified Appellant, Ismael Juarez-Rico, that this appeal appears to be moot and ordered him to file a response by December 28, 2023, showing how this appeal is not moot. Juarez-Rico filed his response, and a motion requesting an extension of time to file his response, on January 5, 2024.
We GRANT Juarez-Rico's motion for extension of time to file his response and deem his response timely filed. The issue of whether this appeal is moot is carried with the appeal. Finally, the current deadline for filing the State's brief was November 17, 2023, but the State has not filed a brief. We therefore ORDER the State to file its brief within 20 days of the date of this order. No further extensions of time will be granted. If the brief is not filed by the date ordered, the appeal may be set for submission without the State's brief.
