This Court’s April 30, 2019 Order granted, in part, the pro se appellant’s third extension
request to file his brief until June 3, 2019, because he had requested referral to the HBA
Pro Bono Program, but warned appellant that no further extensions would be granted
absent extraordinary circumstances. Accordingly, appellant’s fourth extension,
requesting one full year to file his brief to find pro bono counsel because the Pro Bono
Program notified him on May 14, 2019, that it was unable to place his case with a
volunteer attorney, is granted, in part, until July 11, 2019, but no further extensions
of time will be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b)(1)(C), 38.6(d). This Court will
dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution if no brief is timely filed by July 11, 2019.__
See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b).
