NUMBER 13-13-00633-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
GUADALUPE DE LEON ACUNA, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 389th District Court
of Hidalgo County, Texas.
ORDER
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Benavides and Perkes
Order Per Curiam
This cause is before the Court on appellant's seventh motion for extension of time
to file the brief. The clerk’s record was filed on January 27, 2014 and appellant’s brief
was originally due to be filed thirty days thereafter. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a).
Appellant has sought and received six previous extensions of time to file the brief and the
cause was previously abated due to difficulties in preparation of the appellate record and
concerns regarding completeness of the record. The record has now been filed.
The Court, having fully examined and considered appellant's motion for extension
of time to file the brief, is of the opinion that, in the interest of justice, appellant's motion
for extension of time to file the brief should be granted with order. 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 truly exigent circumstances supported by
appropriate evidence.
Appellant's seventh motion for extension of time to file the brief is hereby
GRANTED, and the Honorable O. Rene Flores, counsel for appellant, is ORDERED
to file the appellate brief with this Court on or before August 14, 2015.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
