Other: _____________________________________
On April 17, 2017, the Clerk of this Court granted appellant’s second extension, but
warned counsel that no further extensions would be granted. Because appellant’s
counsel’s request is unopposed and he states that, among other things, he has been out
ill for several days and is a solo practitioner, his third extension is granted, but counsel
is warned that no further extensions will be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P.
10.5(b)(1)(C), 38.6(d). Accordingly, if appellant’s brief is not filed by June 30, 2017,
the Court will abate this case for a late-brief hearing. See id. 38.8(b)(2).
