This Court’s March 28, 2019 Order granted the pro se appellant’s second extension
request to file appellant’s brief until April 22, 2019, and directed appellant to file a
docketing statement to request referral to the Pro Bono Program. Appellant filed
the docketing statement on April 19, 2019, and it states that the Pro Bono Committee
takes 30-45 days after receiving it to determine whether to accept this case for
selection. Accordingly, appellant’s third extension, requesting one full year to file his
brief to find pro bono counsel, is granted, in part, until June 3, 2019, which is 45 days
from April 19, 2019, but no further extensions of time will be granted absent
extraordinary circumstances. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b)(1)(C), 38.6(d).
