Jason Chavez v. State ( 2015 )

NUMBER 13-14-00384-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
JASON CHAVEZ, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2
of Nueces County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF
Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Perkes
Order Per Curiam
This cause is currently before the Court on appellant's sixth motion for extension
of time to file the brief. The reporter’s record was filed on September 16, 2014, 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 extensions totaling 165 days to file
the brief, and appellant now seeks an additional 21 days, until May 4, 2015, to file the
brief.
The Court GRANTS appellant’s sixth unopposed motion for extension to file the
brief and ORDERS the Honorable Ira Z. Miller to file the brief on or before May 4, 2015.
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Do not publish.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
22nd day of April, 2015.
