ARTHUR R. HOLLOWAY JUNIOR, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 177th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1392086
ORDER
Appellant is represented by appointed counsel, Joshua Hill. Appellant's brief was originally due April 11, 2016. We have granted a total of at least 90 days to file appellant's brief until July 11, 2016. When we granted the last extension, we noted that no further extensions would be granted absent exceptional circumstances. No brief was filed. On July 11, 2016, 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.
Accordingly, we order Joshua Hill to file a brief with the clerk of this court on or before August 10, 2016. 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 Justices Busby, Donovan, and Wise.
