On Appeal from the County Criminal Court at Law No 9 Harris County, Texas

ORDER

Appellant is represented retained counsel, Gregg Clements. The reporter’s record was filed on May 25, 2012. On June 25, 2012, time to file appellant’s brief expired without a brief and no motion for extension of time was filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). Counsel and the trial court were notified on June 27, 2012, that no brief had been received. Appellant did not respond. Accordingly, on August 2, 2012, pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b), this court abated the appeal and ordered the trial to conduct a hearing to determine why appellant’s brief had not been filed.

On August 17, 2012, appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file his brief.

The motion is GRANTED. Appellant’s brief is due on or before September 21, 2012. No further extensions will be granted absent exceptional circumstances.

We WITHDRAW our August 2, 2012, abatement order directing a hearing to be held. The appeal is REINSTATED.
