REBECCA VICTORIA HUMARAN, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 239th District Court Brazoria County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 68647
ORDER
Appellant is represented by appointed counsel, Crespin Michael Linton. Appellant's brief was originally due November 5, 2014. We granted a total of 90 days extension of time to file appellant's brief until February 5, 2015. When we granted the last extension, we noted that no further extensions would be granted absent exceptional circumstances. No brief was filed. On February 5, 2015, counsel filed a further request for extension of time to file appellant's brief. Counsel did not allege any exceptional circumstances in the request.
We deny the request for extension and issue the following order:
Crespin Michael Linton is ordered to file a brief with the clerk of this Court on or before March 20, 2015. If counsel does not timely file appellant's brief as ordered, the Court will issue an order abating the appeal and directing the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine the reason for the failure to file the brief and the consideration of sanctions, appointment of new counsel, or other appropriate relief.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Boyce and McCally.
