COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

RAFAEL ADRIAN AGUAYO, Appellant,

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

On appeal from the 398th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas.

ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF Before Justices Benavides, Perkes, and Longoria Order Per Curiam

This cause is currently before the Court on appellant's unopposed sixth motion for

extension of time to file the brief. Current counsel was appointed to represent appellant

on October 23, 2015 and the appellate record was complete upon the filing of a fourth

supplemental clerk’s record on January 25, 2016. This Court has granted current counsel one previous extension of 60 days to file the brief, and appellant now seeks an

additional 45 days, until June 1, 2016, to file the brief.

The Court GRANTS appellant’s unopposed sixth motion for extension to file the

brief and ORDERS the Honorable Victoria Guerra to file the brief on or before June 1,

2016. The Court looks with disfavor on the delay caused by counsel’s failure to timely

file a brief in this matter. No further extensions will be granted absent exigent

circumstances. If counsel fails to file the brief within the specified period of time, the

Court will act appropriately to ensure that appellant's rights are protected. See id. R.

38.8(b)(4).
