JOEL NAVARRO, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Motion Denied; Order filed May 8, 2014.
On Appeal from the County Criminal Court at Law No. 15
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1836127
ORDER
This is an appeal from appellant's conviction for driving while intoxicated. On July 16, 2013, appellant was sentenced to one year in county jail and assessed a fine of $500. Appellant's confinement was suspended, and he was placed on community supervision for two years.
Appellant is represented by retained counsel, R. Scott Schearer. Appellant's brief was originally due January 20, 2014. We granted counsel a 90-day extension of time to file appellant's brief until April 21, 2014. When we granted this extension, we noted that no further extensions would be granted. No brief was filed. On May 5, 2014, counsel filed a further request for extension of time to file appellant's brief. We DENY the request and issue the following order.
We ORDER appellant's counsel, R. SCOTT SCHEARER, to file a brief with the clerk of this court on or before June 9, 2014. If R. Scott Schearer does not timely file the brief as ordered, the court may order a hearing in the trial court to determine the reason for the failure to file a brief, including a determination of whether counsel should be held in contempt for failing to file the brief as ordered.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Donovan and Brown.
