IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-17-00161-CR
ADRIAN VALADEZ,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 19th District Court
McLennan County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2012-2160-C1
ORDER
The State’s brief was originally due on November 1, 2017. A first extension of time
of 30 days was granted, and the State’s brief was due December 1, 2017. A second
extension of time of 32 days was granted, and the State’s brief was due January 2, 2018.
Now, an extension of time for an additional 30 days is being requested which would
make the brief due on February 1, 2018. This most recent request pushes the total amount
of time to 122 days to file a brief that the Rules of Appellate Procedure provide should be
filed in 30 days. We cannot, in good conscience, grant four times the amount of time
allowed by the rules to file a brief in a standard appeal where there is no suggestion in
the motion that this case is unusual in any way.
However, in light of the State’s reasons for requesting the additional time, the
State’s Motion for Extension of Time to File the State’s Brief is granted in part and denied
in part. The State’s brief is due January 30, 2018.
