IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-16-00137-CR
WILL STEINMANN,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 13th District Court
Navarro County, Texas
Trial Court No. D35282-CR
ORDER
The Court received appellant’s brief in hard copy form only on October 19, 2016.
The cover of the brief contained the statement, “BRIEF IS SEALED BY ORDER OF THE
COURT.” This Court was unable to find any order by any court ordering the sealing of
appellant’s brief. This Court did not issue a sealing order. There was no written trial
court sealing order contained in the clerk’s record. Further, after a limited review of the
ten volume reporter’s record, the Court was unable to locate any verbal order of the trial
court sealing appellant’s brief. However, when the Court requested to be directed to the
sealing order, a brief was electronically filed on October 31, 2016; but it was not filed
under seal.
Because the brief has been filed, there is no need to grant a motion for extension of
time to file it. Accordingly, appellant’s motion for extension of time to file appellant’s
brief dismissed as moot.
PER CURIAM
Before Chief Justice Gray,
Justice Davis, and
Justice Scoggins
