COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

JORGE MAXIMO ESPINOZA, Appellant,

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

On appeal from the 430th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas.

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

This cause is before the Court on appellant's second motion for extension of time

to file the brief. Appellant’s brief was originally due to be filed on October 7, 2013, and

this Court has previously granted appellant an extension for the filing of appellant’s brief

in this cause. Appellant has now filed his second motion requesting additional time to file the appellate brief in this cause.

The Court, having fully examined and considered appellant's second motion for

extension of time to file the brief and the extension previously granted in this cause, is of

the opinion that, in the interest of justice, appellant's second motion for extension of time

to file the brief should be granted with order. The Court, however, looks with disfavor

upon the delay caused by counsel's failure to have filed a brief in this matter.

Appellant's second motion for extension of time to file the brief is hereby

GRANTED, and the Honorable O. Rene Flores, counsel for appellant, is hereby

ORDERED to file the appellate brief with this Court on or before March 4, 2014. Further

motions for extension of time will not be favorably entertained by the Court.

The Clerk of this Court is ORDERED to serve a copy of this order on the Honorable

O. Rene Flores by certified mail, return receipt requested.

PER CURIAM

Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

Delivered and filed the 12th day of February, 2014.
