On appeal from the 24th District Court of Calhoun County, Texas. ORDER TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF Before Justices Longoria, Hinojosa, and Silva Order Per Curiam This cause is currently before the Court on its own motion. Appellant’s brief was due to be filed on December 20, 2021. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a). On December 28, 2021, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant his brief was past due. On February 2, 2022, appellant notified us that the appeal has not been abandoned and stated he was awaiting rulings on certain matters by the trial court.
