Opinion
Order entered September 17, 2020
In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-20-00192-CR No. 05-20-00194-CR
HENRY MUNOZ, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 382nd Judicial District Court Rockwall County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2-19-0773 & 2-19-0774
ORDER
Before the Court is the State’s third motion for extension of time to file its
brief. In this and in each of the two prior motions, counsel has given generally
similar reasons for extending the State’s time in this case, including discovery and
plea hearings in what appear to be a consistent and therefore predictable docket of
cases. And in each motion, counsel has shared the same detail: “On several
occasions, the delay in timely submitting those certificates of conference resulted
in the issuance of show-cause orders in the 439th Judicial District Court.” We are unclear why a trial court’s repeated show cause orders based on counsel’s delays
would support a request for an extension of time from this Court.
In any event, counsel has otherwise recited sufficient bases for an extension
of time; we GRANT the State’s September 14, 2020 third motion for extension of
time to file its brief and ORDER the brief due on or before October 14, 2020.
We trust it will be the last such delay in Mr. Munoz’s appeal.
