In re Alexander Calhoun
Courtney Trapp, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY, 207TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NOS. CR-05-796, CR-11-0974, & CR-11-0983,
THE HONORABLE JACK H. ROBISON, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
PER CURIAM
This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to Courtney Trapp’s appeals from a
judgment adjudicating his guilt and two judgments of conviction. The subject of this proceeding is
Alexander Calhoun, appellant’s counsel.
Appellant’s brief was originally due May 22, 2013. Appellant’s court-appointed
attorney, Alexander Calhoun, twice filed a motion for an extension of time to file the brief in
response to this Court’s notice that the brief was overdue, which we granted. After granting the last
extension, appellant’s brief was due on or before September 23, 2013. No brief was filed. On
October 22, 2012, this Court ordered counsel to tender a brief on appellant’s behalf no later than
November 5, 2013. Counsel failed to file a brief as ordered.
Therefore, it is hereby ordered that the said Alexander Calhoun shall appear in person
before this Court on November 22, 2013, at 9:00 a.m., in the courtroom of this Court, located in the
Price Daniel, Sr. Building, 209 West 14th Street, City of Austin, Travis County, Texas, then and
there to show cause why he should not be held in contempt and sanctions imposed for his failure to
obey the October 22, 2013, order of this Court. This order to show cause will be withdrawn and the
said Alexander Calhoun will be relieved of his obligation to appear before this Court as above
ordered if the Clerk of this Court receives appellant’s brief by 12:00 p.m. November 21, 2013.
It is so ordered on this the 8th day of November, 2013.
Before Justices Puryear, Rose, and Goodwin
