Opinion
Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas January 16, 2020
No. 04-19-00206-CR
Joel ALEJANDREZ, Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 381st Judicial District Court, Starr County, Texas Trial Court No. 15-CR-101 Honorable Jose Luis Garza, Judge Presiding
ORDER Appellant’s brief was due on December 23, 2019. Sixteen days after the due date, Appellant filed a thirty-nine-page motion requesting a five-month extension of time to file the brief. To justify the request, court-appointed counsel cited reasons that are common for an active criminal defense practice. Appellant’s motion is GRANTED IN PART; the brief is due on February 21, 2020. We caution Appellant that the reasons given for a five-month extension do not justify such a delay, and any further request for an extension of time to file the brief will be strongly disfavored.
