entitled to appointed counsel on appeal. The trial court found that the appellant is not
indigent and, thus, is not entitled to court-appointed counsel or a free appellate record.
Appellant has filed an appeal from the trial court’s denial of indigence. The
appellate record relevant to appellant’s indigence claim was provided to appellant on
September 17, 2013.
This cause is before the Court on appellant’s second motion for extension of time

to file his brief.
The Court GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN PART appellant's second motion for
extension of time. This motion is GRANTED insofar as the Court will extend appellant's
deadline to file his brief until January 21, 2014. This motion is DENIED insofar as the
Court will not allow an extension until February 12, 2014. Appellant is hereby
ORDERED to file the appellate brief with this Court on or before January 21, 2014. NO
FURTHER EXTENSIONS WILL BE GRANTED IN THIS MATTER. If appellant fails to
file the brief within the foregoing specified period of time, the Court will consider the
appeal without briefs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(C), 38.8(b)(4).
It is so ORDERED.
