 Denied
 Dismissed (e.g., want of jurisdiction, moot)
 Other: _____________________________________
Because counsel’s fourth extension contends that she needs additional time to complete
appellant’s brief because of, among other reasons, her health issues, this extension is
granted, but no further extensions will be granted given the total length of time
requested. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b)(1)(C). Accordingly, if appellant’s brief is not
filed by January 12, 2017, the Court will abate this appeal for a late-brief hearing. See
id. 38.8(b)(2).
