Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas February 26, 2014

No. 04-13-00798-CR

Eric C. MARS, Appellant

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

From the 226th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2012CR9994 Honorable Sid L. Harle, Judge Presiding

ORDER Appellant’s brief was originally due on February 3, 2014. On February 10, 2014, we notified appellant that the brief was late, and that a motion for extension of time was due within 10 days. The clerk’s office has informed the court that on February 19, 2014, appellant attempted to file a paper copy of a motion for extension of time. As of January 1, 2014, all attorneys in civil and criminal cases are required to file all documents with the Court through the eFileTexas.gov electronic filing system. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.2(c), 9.4(j). A deputy clerk attempted several times to call and inform counsel that paper filings are no longer accepted, but counsel’s voicemail was full. Accordingly, we ORDER counsel to electronically file the motion for extension of time within 5 days of the date of this order. If neither the brief nor a motion is filed in accordance with this order, we will abate the appeal to the trial court pursuant to Rule 38.8(b). See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2).
