Darren McGregory Bryant v. State

NUMBER 13-16-00157-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
DARREN MCGREGORY BRYANT, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 24th District Court
of Jackson County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF
Before Justices Garza, Perkes, and Longoria
Order Per Curiam
This cause is currently before the Court on appellant's second motion for extension
of time to file the brief. The clerk’s record was filed on May 20, 2016, 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 78 days to file
the brief, and appellant now seeks an additional 90 days, until December 15, 2016, to file
the brief.
The Court GRANTS appellant’s second motion for extension to file the brief and
ORDERS the Honorable Robert E. Williams II to file the brief on or before December 15,
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Do not publish.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).
