Appellant’s brief was originally due on July 16, 2014. We granted two prior 30-day extension requests
extending the deadline to September 15, 2014. On August 13, 2014, appellant filed a motion to abate
these appeals followed by a third extension motion filed on September 17, 2014 requesting that, in the
event that the motion to abate is denied, we grant an extension of 30 days from the date of the denial. On
September 25, 2014, we denied the motion to abate and granted the third motion for an extension of time.
Thus, appellant’s brief is currently due on October 27, 2014. On October 8, 2014, appellant filed a fourth
extension motion requesting that, in the event that his motion for en banc reconsideration of the order
denying his motion to abate is denied, we extend the time to file his brief to 30 days after the denial of his
motion for en banc reconsideration.
Appellant’s fourth motion to extend the time for filing his brief is DENIED. In the event that appellant’s
motion for en banc reconsideration is denied and appellant’s brief is not filed by October 27, 2014, these
cases will be abated and remanded to the trial court for a hearing pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure 38.8(b). See TEX. R. APP. 38.8(b)(2), (3).
