NUMBER 13-16-00580-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI C EDINBURG
ERIC SANCHEZ, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 319th District Court
of Nueces County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF
Before Justices Rodriguez, Benavides, and Longoria
Order Per Curiam
This cause is currently before the Court on appellant's fourth motion for extension
of time to file the brief. The reporter’s record was filed on May 11, 2017, 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 three extensions of time totaling 143 days to
file the brief, and appellant now seeks an additional 21 days, until November 27, 2017, to
file the brief.
The Court GRANTS appellant’s fourth motion for extension to file the brief and
ORDERS the Honorable Gabi S. Canales to file the brief on or before November 27, 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
