Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 187th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2021CR10247
Honorable Stephanie R. Boyd, Judge Presiding
O R D E R
After we granted Appellant’s first motion for a sixty-day extension of time, Appellant’s
brief was due on October 17, 2022. Before the once-extended due date, Appellant filed a motion
for another sixty-day extension of time to file the brief.
Appellant’s motion is GRANTED IN PART. We ORDER Appellant to file the brief not
later than November 16, 2022. See T EX . R. A PP . P. 38.6(d).
No further extensions of time to file Appellant’s brief will be granted absent
extraordinary circumstances . Heavy trial and appellate caseloads, without more, are not
extraordinary circumstances. See McIlhargey v. Hager , No. 13-21-00288-CV, 2022 WL
1251061, at *3 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi–Edinburg Apr. 28, 2022, pet. denied) (mem. op.);
Hubbard v. State , 649 S.W.2d 167, 169 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1983, no pet.).
If Appellant fails to file the brief as ordered, we will abate this appeal and remand the
cause to the trial court for an abandonment hearing. See T EX . R. A PP . P. 38.8(b)(2), (3);
Samaniego v. State , 952 S.W.2d 50, 52–53 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1997, no pet.).
