COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

GRACIELA CASAS ARJONA, Appellant,

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

On appeal from the 93rd District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas.

ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Benavides Order Per Curiam

This cause is currently before the Court on appellant's unopposed fourth motion

for extension of time to file the brief. The reporter’s record was filed on February 24,

2014, and appellant’s brief was originally due to be filed thirty days thereafter. See Tex.

R. App. P. 38.6(a). This Court has previously granted appellant three extensions of time totaling 152 days to file the brief, and appellant now seeks an additional thirty days, until

September 24, 2014, to file the brief.

The Court GRANTS appellant’s fourth unopposed motion to file the brief and

ORDERS the Honorable Victoria Guerra to file the brief on or before September 24, 2014.

The Court looks with disfavor on the delay caused by counsel’s failure to timely file a brief

in this matter. No further extensions will be granted absent exigent circumstances. If

counsel fails to file the brief within the specified period of time, the Court will act

appropriately to ensure that appellant's rights are protected. See id. R. 38.8(b)(4). The

PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the 5th day of September, 2014.
