Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
June 17, 2019
No. 04-19-00192-CR
John Joe AVALOS,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 437th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2018CR7068
Honorable Lori I. Valenzuela, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant’s brief was originally due May 13, 2019; however, the court granted an
extension of time to file the brief until June 12. Appellant has filed an unopposed motion
requesting an additional thirty days to file the brief.
We grant the motion and order appellant’s attorney, Jorge G. Aristotelidis, to file
appellant’s brief by July 12, 2019 (60 days after the original due date). Counsel is advised that
no further extensions of time will be granted absent a motion, filed by the date the brief is due,
that (1) demonstrates extraordinary circumstances justifying further delay, (2) advises the court
of the efforts counsel has expended in preparing the brief, and (3) provides the court reasonable
assurance that the brief will be completed and filed by the requested extended deadline. The
court does not generally consider a heavy work schedule to be an extraordinary circumstance.
