CHRISTOPHER WILLIAMS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 176th District Court Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1410165

ORDER

Appellant is represented by appointed counsel, Kevin P. Keating.

Appellant’s brief was originally due December 23, 2015. We have granted a total of 100 days to file appellant’s brief until April 1, 2016. When we granted the last extension, we noted that no further extensions would be granted. No brief was filed. On April 25, 2016, counsel filed a further request for extension of time to file appellant’s brief.

We DENY the motion for extension and issue the following order.

Accordingly, we ORDER Kevin P. Keating to file a brief with the clerk of this court on or before May 2, 2016. If counsel does not timely file appellant’s brief as ordered, the court will issue an order abating the appeal and directing the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine the reason for the failure to file the brief and the consideration of sanctions, appointment of new counsel, or other appropriate relief.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Boyce, Christopher, and Jamison
