Appellant is represented by appointed counsel, David L. Garza. Appellant’s brief was originally due October 11, 2021. We have granted a total of 90 days to file appellant’s brief until January 25, 2022. No brief was filed by the due date. On January 25, 2022, counsel filed a further motion to extend time to file appellant’s brief.

We order David L. Garza to file a brief with the clerk of this court on or before February 24, 2022. If counsel does not timely file appellant’s brief as ordered, the court may issue an order abating the appeal and directing the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine the reason for the failure to file the brief and the consideration of sanctions, appointment of new counsel, or other appropriate relief.
