No. 04-13-00338-CR
Elias Esequiel VASQUEZ,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 229th Judicial District Court, Starr County, Texas
Trial Court No. 11-CRS-270
Honorable Ana Lisa Garza, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant’s brief was originally due on April 9, 2014. Appellant has been granted three
extensions of time—for a total of 110 days—in which to file the brief. Our last order stated that
no further extensions of time would be granted. Despite this admonition, appellant has filed a
fourth motion for extension of time requesting an additional 14-day extension.
The motion is GRANTED. We ORDER appellant’s attorney to file the appellant’s brief
on or before August 13, 2014. No further extensions of time will be considered. If appellant’s
brief is not filed by that date, we will abate this appeal to the trial court for an abandonment
hearing. TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2). Contempt proceedings may also be initiated against
appellant’s attorney. Id. 38.8(b)(4).
