ROOSEVELT HART, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 185th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. 1425126 and 1425127
ORDER
Appellant is represented by appointed counsel, Tonya Rolland. Appellant’s
brief was originally due August 5, 2015. We have granted a total of 90 days to file
appellant’s brief until November 4, 2015. When we granted the last extension, we
noted that no further extensions would be granted absent exceptional
circumstances. No brief was filed. On November 4, 2015, counsel filed a further
request for extension of time to file appellant’s brief. Counsel did not allege any
exceptional circumstances in the request.
We deny the request for extension and issue the following order.
Accordingly, we order Tonya Rolland to file a brief with the clerk of this
court on or before December 4, 2015. If counsel does not timely file appellant’s
brief as ordered, the court will issue an order abating the appeal and directing the
trial court to conduct a hearing to determine the reason for the failure to file the
brief and the consideration of sanctions, appointment of new counsel, or other
appropriate relief.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Jamison, McCally and Wise.
