ROCIO RIVERA GARCIA, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 206th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Longoria and Perkes
Order Per Curiam
This cause is currently before the Court on appellant's third motion for extension of time to file the brief. The reporter's record was filed on November 21, 2019, and appellant's brief was originally due to be filed thirty days thereafter. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). This Court has previously granted appellant two extensions of time totaling 132 days to file the brief, and appellant now seeks an additional 45 days, until June 17, 2019, to file the brief.
The Court GRANTS appellant's third motion for extension to file the brief and ORDERS the Honorable Victoria Guerra to file the brief on or before June 17, 2019. The Court looks with disfavor on the delay caused by counsel's failure to timely file a brief in this matter. No further extensions will be granted absent exigent circumstances. If counsel fails to file the brief within the specified period of time, the Court will act appropriately to ensure that appellant's rights are protected. See id. R. 38.8(b)(4).
PER CURIAM Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b). Delivered and filed the 8th day of May, 2019.
