Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-12-01418-CR
ELIZABETH DENISE ESCALONA, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 292nd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F-1159638-V
ORDER
The State’s brief in this case was due to this Court on June 16, 2013. The State had
previously requested and received an extension of time to file this brief, yet this Court heard
nothing from the State for almost four months after this extended due date. The State’s silence
causes concern. Moreover, the State has failed to indicate in its motion that it conferred, or made
a reasonable attempt to confer, with appellant about the merits of this motion. TEX. R. APP.
P. 10.1. Nevertheless, in the interest of justice, the Court GRANTS the State’s motion to accept
brief tendered.
