On December 14, 2015, the Clerk of this Court granted appellant’s second extension
and warned counsel that no further extensions would be granted absent exceptional
circumstances. Appellant’s third extension motion states that, since the last extension
was granted, counsel has filed three briefs in other cases, discussed dismissal of this
appeal with her client, and two new appellate attorneys have recently started in the
Public Defender’s Office, but it will take a month or so for the office to catch up on
their backlog. Thus, appellant’s third extension of time to file his brief is granted, but
counsel is warned that no further extensions will be granted. Accordingly, if
appellant’s brief is not filed by February 10, 2016, the Court will abate this appeal for
a hearing. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2).
