In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-16-01058-CV

ROBERT T. O'DONNELL, Appellant

V.

JULIA L. VARGO, Appellee

On Appeal from the 380th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 380-50667-2013

ORDER Before the Court is appellant’s December 30, 2016 unopposed third motion entitled “Appellant’s Emergency Motion to Extend Time to File Brief.” The Court granted appellant’s second motion for an extension of time but cautioned counsel that further extensions would not be granted absent extenuating circumstances. In this motion, counsel states he has been ill and unable to work for a week. In light of this, we GRANT the third motion and ORDER appellant’s brief filed on or before January 6, 2017. We caution that the failure to file appellant’s brief by the deadline in this order may result in the appeal being dismissed for want of prosecution without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1); 42.3(b), (c).
