Charles Francis Williams v. State

Opinion

In The

Court of Appeals

Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana

Nos. 06-15-00030-CR &

06-15-00031-CR

CHARLES FRANCIS WILLIAMS, Appellant V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 354th District Court Hunt County, Texas

Trial Court Nos. 30,023 & 30,068

Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.

ORDER

Charles Francis Williams appeals from (1) his conviction of theft of aluminum, bronze, copper, or brass valued at less than $20,000.00 and the resulting sentence of ten years’ imprisonment and (2) his conviction of unauthorized use of a vehicle and the resulting sentence of ten years’ imprisonment. The clerk’s records in these matters were filed June 3, 2015, and the reporter’s records were filed June 12, making Williams’ appellate brief(s) originally due July 13. This deadline was extended once by this Court on the motion of Williams’ appellate counsel, Jason A. Duff, resulting in the most recent due date of August 13, 2015. Duff has now filed a second motion seeking an additional extension of the briefing deadline.

We have reviewed Duff’s second motion to extend time as well as the appellate records in these cases, and we find no compelling information to convince us that Williams’ briefing requires additional time to prepare. Consequently, Duff’s second motion to extend time to file Williams’ appellate brief(s) is overruled.

We order Duff to file Williams’ appellate brief(s) with this Court on or before September 11, 2015.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
