Julio Louis CRAWFORD, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee

From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2011CR10663 Honorable Melisa Skinner, Judge Presiding

ORDER Appellant’s brief was originally due on October 12, 2013. On October 31, 2013, appellant’s attorney filed a motion for extension of time to file appellant’s brief, which was granted. On December 27, 2013, appellant’s attorney filed a second motion for extension of time to file appellant’s brief. On December 31, 2013, we granted the second motion for extension of time to file appellant’s brief. Our order stated that appellant’s brief was due on January 13, 2014, and that no further extensions would be granted. Despite our order warning appellant’s attorney that no further extensions would be granted, appellant’s brief still has not been filed.

We ORDER appellant’s attorney to file appellant’s brief on or before February 7, 2014. If appellant’s brief is not filed by that date, we will abate this appeal to the trial court for an abandonment hearing. TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2). Contempt proceedings may also be initiated against appellant’s attorney. Id. 38.8(b)(4).
