Braulio Tirado-Morales v. State ( 2019 )

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas January 30, 2019 No. 04-18-00525-CR Braulio TIRADO-MORALES, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 451st Judicial District Court, Kendall County, Texas Trial Court No. 6201 Honorable Maria Teresa Herr, Judge Presiding ORDER Appellant’s brief was originally due to be filed on January 11, 2019. After neither the brief nor a motion for extension of time to file the brief was filed, we notified appellant’s counsel via letter that the brief was late and requested a response by no later than January 28, 2019. Appellant did not respond to our letter or file a brief or motion for extension of time to file the brief. Accordingly, appellant’s counsel is ORDERED to respond to this court in writing within ten (10) days of the date of this order. The response should state a reasonable explanation for failing to timely file the brief and demonstrate the steps being taken to remedy the deficiency. If appellant’s counsel fails to file an adequate response within ten (10) days, this appeal will be abated to the trial court for an abandonment hearing, and the trial court will be asked to consider whether sanctions are appropriate. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2). _________________________________ Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said court on this 30th day of January, 2019. ___________________________________ KEITH E.
