Leonardo Villarreal Moreno v. State ( 2015 )

NUMBER 13-15-00159-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
LEONARDO VILLARREAL MORENO, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 139th District Court
of Hidalgo County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Perkes
Order Per Curiam
This cause is currently before the Court on appellant's second unopposed motion
for extension of time to file the brief. The reporter’s record was filed on July 22, 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 one extension of time
totaling 94 days to file the brief, and appellant now seeks an additional sixty days, until
January 23, 2016, to file the brief.
The Court GRANTS appellant’s second unopposed motion for extension to file the
brief and ORDERS the Honorable O. Rene Flores to file the brief on or before January
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Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
Delivered and filed the
2nd day of December, 2015.
