Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas February 18, 2022 No. 04-21-00330-CR Jack Andrew SMITH, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 437th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2019CR10392 Honorable Melisa C. Skinner, Judge Presiding

ORDER On February 15, 2022, appellant filed a motion for a seven day extension of time to file his brief. We grant the motion and order appellant’s counsel to file his brief by February 22, 2022. We further advise counsel that no further extensions of time will be granted absent a motion, filed before the brief is due, that (1) demonstrates extraordinary circumstances justifying further delay, (2) advises the court of the efforts counsel has expended in preparing the brief, and (3) provides the court reasonable assurance that the brief will be completed and filed by the requested extended deadline. The court does not generally consider a heavy work schedule to be an extraordinary circumstance.
