Jarrett Leon Davenport, Sr. v. State ( 2018 )

NUMBER 13-17-00363-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
JARRETT LEON DAVENPORT, SR., APPELLANT,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE.
On appeal from the 24th District Court
of Victoria County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF
Before Justices Rodriguez, Contreras, and Hinojosa
Order Per Curiam
This cause is currently before the Court on appellant's second motion for extension
of time to file the brief. The reporter’s record was filed on September 5, 2017, and
appellant’s brief was originally due to be filed thirty days thereafter. See Tex. R. App. P.
38.6(a). This Court has previously granted appellant an extension of 141 days to file the
brief, and appellant now seeks an additional 35 days to file the brief.
The Court GRANTS appellant’s second motion for extension to file the brief and
ORDERS the Honorable Luis A. Martinez to file the brief on or before April 2, 2018. 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).
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
Delivered and filed the
16th day of March, 2018.
