NUMBER 13-18-00607-CR COURT OF APPEALS THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG

EX PARTE FABIAN GARCIA

On appeal from the 206th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas.

ORDER TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF Before Justices Benavides, Hinojosa, and Silva Order Per Curiam This cause is before the Court on appellee’s fifth motion for extension of time to file the brief. Appellee’s brief was originally due to be filed on June 10, 2020, and the Court previously granted appellee four extensions for the filing of appellee’s brief in this cause.

The Court, having fully examined and considered appellee’s fifth motion for extension of time to file the brief and the extensions previously granted in this cause, is of the opinion exigent circumstances exist, and in the interest of justice, appellee’s fifth motion for extension of time to file the brief should be granted. Accordingly, appellee’s fifth motion for extension of time to file the brief is GRANTED. The Court looks with disfavor upon the delay caused by counsel’s failure to have filed a brief in this matter.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Honorable Luis A. Gonzalez, counsel for appellee, file the appellate brief with this Court on or before March 25, 2021. No further motions to extend will be entertained.

PER CURIAM Do not publish.

TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

Delivered and filed on the 17th day of March, 2021.
