HENRY OCHOA JR., Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 377th District Court of Victoria County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Benavides
OrderPer Curiam
This cause is currently before the Court on appellant's unopposed third motion for extension of time to file the brief. The reporter's record was filed on September 24, 2015, and appellant's brief was originally due to be filed thirty days thereafter. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). This Court has previously granted appellant two extensions of time totaling 122 days to file the brief, and appellant now seeks an additional 30 days, until March 25, 2016, to file the brief.
The Court GRANTS appellant's third unopposed motion for extension to file the brief and ORDERS the Honorable Carlos Solis and Honorable Derek Hilley to file the brief on or before March 25, 2016. The Court looks with disfavor on the delay caused by counsel's failure to timely file a brief in this matter. No further extensions will be granted absent exigent circumstances. If counsel fails to file the brief within the specified period of time, the Court will act appropriately to ensure that appellant's rights are protected. See id. R. 38.8(b)(4).
PER CURIAM Do not publish.
