NUMBER 13-16-00153-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
RODOLFO SAENZ, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 370th District Court
of Hidalgo County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF
Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Longoria
Order Per Curiam
This cause is currently before the Court on appellant's third unopposed motion for
extension of time to file the brief. The reporter’s record was filed on July 6, 2016, and
appellant’s brief was originally due to be filed thirty days thereafter. See Tex. R. App. P.
38.6(a). This Court has previously granted appellant two extensions of time totaling 136
days to file the brief, and appellant now seeks an additional 30 days, until January 18,
2017, to file the brief.
The Court GRANTS appellant’s third unopposed motion for extension to file the
brief and ORDERS the Honorable Victoria Guerra to file the brief on or before January
18, 2017. The Court looks with disfavor on the delay caused by counsel’s failure to timely
file a brief in this matter. No further extensions will be granted absent exigent
circumstances. If counsel fails to file the brief within the specified period of time, the
Court will act appropriately to ensure that appellant's rights are protected. See id. R.
38.8(b)(4).
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
Delivered and filed the
