COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON ORDER ON MOTION Cause number: 01-14-00938-CR Style: Xavier Sherod Dukes v. The State of Texas Date motion filed*: April 1, 2015 Type of motion: Third Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief Party filing motion: Appellant Document to be filed: Appellant’s Brief Is appeal accelerated? No If motion to extend time: Original due date: January 29, 2015 Number of extensions granted: 2 Current Due Date: April 1, 2015 Date Requested: May 4, 2015 Ordered that motion is:  Granted If document is to be filed, document due: May 4, 2015.  No further extensions of time will be granted.  Denied  Dismissed (e.g., want of jurisdiction, moot)  Other: _____________________________________ On March 2, 2015, the Clerk of this Court granted appellant’s second extension and warned counsel that no further extensions would be granted absent exceptional circumstances. Appellant’s motion states that, since the complete record was filed, counsel has been appointed to three felony cases where the prior attorney withdrew after the case was set for trial and counsel has been given a short time to prepare. Thus, appellant’s motion is granted, but counsel is warned that no further extensions will be granted. Accordingly, if appellant’s brief is not filed by May 4, 2015, the Court may abate this appeal for a hearing. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2).
