SYLVIA MARIE COLLINS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 178th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1390220
ORDER
Appellant is represented by appointed counsel, Cheri Duncan. Appellant’s
brief was originally due August 17, 2015. We have granted a total of 90 days to
file appellant’s brief until November 16, 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 16, 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 Cheri Duncan to file a brief with the clerk of this
court on or before December 17, 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.
