James Cornelious SCOTT, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 144th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2020CR7104 Honorable Michael E. Mery, Judge Presiding
ORDER
REBECA C. MARTINEZ, CHIEF JUSTICE
Appellant's brief was originally due to be filed on March 25, 2022. We extended this deadline twice to June 16, 2022, and stated in our last order: "No further extensions of time will be allowed." However, to date, the brief has not been filed. Appellant's attorney is ORDERED to respond to this court in writing within ten days of the date of this order. The response should state a reasonable explanation for failing to timely file the brief and demonstrate the steps being taken to remedy the deficiency. If appellant's attorney fails to file an adequate response within ten days, this appeal will be abated to the trial court for an abandonment hearing, and the trial court will be asked to consider whether sanctions are appropriate. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(B)(2).
