JAMES WARR, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 299th District Court Travis County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. D-1-DC-15-900044
ORDER
Appellant is represented by appointed counsel, Gary E. Prust. Appellant's brief was originally due March 26, 2018. We have granted a total of 90 days' extension to file appellant's brief until July 30, 2018. When we granted the last extension, we noted that no further extensions would be granted absent exceptional circumstances. No brief was filed. On July 30, 2018, 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 Gary E. Prust to file a brief with the clerk of this court on or before August 30, 2018. If counsel does not timely file appellant's brief as ordered, the court may 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 Chief Justice Frost and Justices Donovan and Brown.
