COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON ORDER OF ABATEMENT Appellate case name: Billy Strahan v. The State of Texas Appellate case number: 01-19-00332-CR, 01-19-00333-CR Trial court case number: 2157387, 2157386 Trial court: Harris County Criminal Court at Law No. 7 of Harris County The appellant has filed his fourth motion to extend time, seeking a one-week extension for a total of 101 days since appellant’s brief was originally due on July 5, 2019.

The appellant filed this motion notwithstanding the Court’s prior admonishment that no further extensions would be granted and that failure to file appellant’s brief by the third- extended deadline would result in an abatement of this appeal for a hearing. Nevertheless, the Court GRANTS the appellant’s motion to extend time and ORDERS the appellant to file his brief on or before October 24, 2019.

If the appellant does not file his brief by October 24, 2019, the Court will abate this appeal and remand for the trial court to immediately conduct a hearing to determine, among other things, whether the appellant wishes to prosecute the appeal and, if so, to determine whether good cause exists to relieve Daucie Schindler as the appellant’s counsel. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2)–(4); see also TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. arts. 1.051(a), (c), (d)(1), 26.04(j)(2).

It is so ORDERED.
