IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-14-00163-CR
EX PARTE JUAN CARLOS MOREJON
From the 77th District Court
Limestone County, Texas
Trial Court No. 1085-A
ORDER
Appellant’s brief was originally due on August 25, 2014. When no brief was
filed, this appeal was abated to the trial court on September 4, 2014 to conduct any
necessary hearings within 21 days of the date of the Order pursuant to Texas Rule of
Appellate Procedure 38.8(b)(2) and (3). TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2), (3).
After the appeal was abated, appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file
his brief. Once abated, this Court had no jurisdiction to act on appellant’s motion for
extension of time. However, having been informed of appellant’s filing of a motion for
extension of time, the trial court determined no hearing on appellant’s failure to file a
brief was necessary.
Accordingly, this appeal is reinstated. Appellant’s motion for extension of time
to file his brief is granted in part. Appellant’s brief is due 20 days from the date of this
Order.
