John Paul Myers v. State

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN






NO. 03-06-00489-CR


John Paul Myers, Appellant

v.



The State of Texas, Appellee






FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF LLANO COUNTY, 33RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 5753, HONORABLE DANIEL H. MILLS, JUDGE PRESIDING


O R D E R

PER CURIAM

The record in this appeal was filed in December 2006. Since that time, the Court has attempted to obtain a brief on appellant's behalf. While this appeal has been pending, three different attorneys have been appellant's counsel of record. Appellant's present counsel, who we understood was appointed but who says he was retained, is Tim Inman.

On December 12, 2007, the Court abated the appeal for a hearing in the trial court. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b). At that hearing, held on January 10, 2008, Inman told the court that he had completed his research and promised to file a brief within thirty days. No brief has been received.

Appellant's counsel, Tim Inman, is ordered to tender a brief on appellant's behalf no later than April 4, 2008. Counsel is admonished that if he fails to comply with this order, he may be ordered to show cause why he should not be held in contempt.

It is ordered March 11, 2008.
