NUMBER 13-19-00626-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG
JOSE LUIS GARCIA JR., Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 398th District Court
of Hidalgo County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE STATE’S BRIEF
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Benavides and Silva
Order Per Curiam
This cause is currently before the Court on the State’s fourth motion for extension
of time to file the brief. Appellant’s brief was filed on February 2, 2021, and the State’s
brief was originally due to be filed thirty days thereafter. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(b). This
Court previously granted the State three extensions of time totaling 162 days to file the
brief, and the State now seeks an additional 60 days, until October 12, 2021, to file the
brief.
The Court grants in part and denies in part the state’s fourth motion for extension
to file the brief and orders the Honorable Gocha A. Ramirez, by and through his assistant
district attorney, the Honorable Judith A. Solis, to file the state’s brief on or before
September 1, 2021. The Court looks with disfavor on the delay caused by counsel’s failure
to timely file a brief in this matter.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
Delivered and filed the
24th day of August, 2021.
