Other: _____________________________________
Although the Clerk of this Court set a June 10, 2015 briefing deadline in the related
appellate cause number 01-15-00248-CR, no such deadline was set here because this
is an appeal from the denial of a habeas corpus application governed by Rule 31.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 31.1, 38.6(a). On November 17, 2014, the Clerk of this Court had
sent notice explaining that if this Court desires briefs, it will set the deadline, but that
this appeal may be set for submission with or without briefs. See id. at 31.1. Thus,
appellant’s motion for an extension of time to file his brief is denied because the Clerk
of this Court already sent notice on June 9, 2015, that this appeal was set for
submission on the record only.
