Because appellant’s motion for extension of time to file appellant’s brief contends that,
among other reasons, more time is needed to consult with her client and his trial
counsel, the motion is granted, but no further extensions will be granted given this
is an accelerated appeal and the length of time requested. Accordingly, if appellant’s
brief is not filed by November 23, 2015, this case will be abated for the trial court to
hold a hearing and appellant’s counsel, Lana Shadwick, may be required to show cause
why she should not be relieved of her duties after a finding of good cause. See TEX.
