[v] Other: __________
The Clerk of this Court's February 20, 2018 notice warned counsel that because his brief had not been timely filed, if the Court does not receive a motion or brief within 10 days of that notice, it would abate this case for a late-brief hearing. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2). Because appellant's counsel's request was timely and states that he has been busy with several court appearances and other appeals, it is granted, but counsel is warned that no further extensions will be granted due to the total length requested. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b)(1)(B), (C), 38.6(d). Accordingly, if appellant's brief is not filed by April 9, 2018, this Court may abate this case. See id. 38.8(b)(2).
