Although the Court of Criminal Appeals’ extension order has expired, because
appellant’s counsel’s request states, among other things, that Hurricane Harvey has
continued to affect his practice, his second extension is granted, but counsel is warned
that no further extensions will be granted due to the total length requested. See
Extension of Emergency Order Authorizing Modification and Suspension of Court
