Other: _____________________________________
On February 1, 2017, the Clerk of this Court notified the State that an extension motion
must be filed within 10 days of that notice if it intended to file a brief. Because the
State’s second extension was timely filed and states that, among other things, counsel
has been delayed by spending a considerable amount of time with the transition to a
new District Attorney this past month, this extension is granted, but counsel is warned
that no further extensions will be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b)(1)(C),
38.6(d). Accordingly, if the State’s brief is not filed by March 10, 2017, this Court
will set this appeal for submission on appellant’s brief only. See id. 38.9(a).
