                         Honorable Jefferson Moore, Judge Presiding


                                         ORDER

        Appellant’s brief was originally due on August 26, 2016. Appellant’s attorney, Patrick
Montgomery did not file the brief or a motion for extension of time. This Court issued a notice
of late brief on September 7, 2016, granting an extension to September 19, 2016. Patrick
Montgomery still has not filed appellant’s brief.

        We ORDER Patrick Montgomery to file appellant’s brief on or before September 30,
2016. If Mr. Montgomery does not file appellant’s brief by this date, we will abate this appeal to
the trial court for an abandonment hearing. TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2). Contempt proceedings
may also be initiated against Mr. Montgomery. Id. 38.8(b)(4).
