EX PARTE Amanda Marie MONTOYA

From the 227th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2016CR11671 Honorable Kevin M. O'Connell, Judge Presiding

ORDER On December 7, 2021, Appellant filed her notice of appeal in the trial court, but the notice was not forwarded to this court until May 12, 2022. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(c)(1), (e). On May 18, 2022, the State moved this court to dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. The State noted the five-month delay in this court receiving the notice of appeal, and it argued that Appellant had done nothing to advance the case or prosecute the appeal. Since then, the clerk’s and reporter’s records have been filed, and Appellant’s brief is due on June 29, 2022. The State’s motion to dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution is denied.
