COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON ORDER Appellate case name: Kentrell Deshay Thurman v. The State of Texas Appellate case number: 01-19-00833-CR & 01-19-00834-CR Trial court case number: 18-CR-1286 & 18-CR-2884 Trial court: 212th District Court of Galveston County Appellant’s brief was due on January 21, 2020. Late notice issued on January 24, 2020, and when no response was received, the Court issued an order on March 3, 2020, abating the appeal and directing the trial court to hold a hearing to determine why no brief had been filed.

On March 4, 2020, appellant’s appointed counsel filed a response to the abatement order and a motion for extension of time to file the brief. In his response, counsel stated that he had attempted to file a motion for extension that was rejected and that he did not learn of the rejection because his email was hacked.

We withdraw the order of March 3, 2020, and reinstate the appeal on the active docket.

We grant appellant’s motion for extension until March 23, 2020. No further extensions will be granted absent a showing of exceptional circumstances.

It is so ORDERED.
