Felipe NEGRETE, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 38th Judicial District Court, Uvalde County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2018-05-13279-CR
Honorable Camile Glasscock Dubose, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant's brief was originally due on July 1, 2020. On August 14, 2020, the clerk of this court notified appellant's attorney by letter that appellant's brief was late and asked appellant's attorney to respond to this court in writing. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2). Appellant's attorney has not responded nor has appellant's brief been filed.
Accordingly, we ORDER appellant's attorney to file appellant's brief on or before October 5, 2020. If appellant's brief is not filed by that date, we will abate this appeal to the trial court for an abandonment hearing. TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2). Contempt proceedings may also be initiated against appellant's attorney. Id. 38.8(b)(4).
