appellant’s attorney to respond to this court in writing. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2). On April
5, 2019, appellant filed a motion for extension of time, requesting an additional thirty days in
which to file appellant’s brief. We granted appellant’s request, and his appellant’s brief became
due on April 24, 2019. Appellant’s brief has not been filed.

        Accordingly, we ORDER appellant’s attorney to file appellant’s brief on or before June

for an abandonment hearing. TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2). Contempt proceedings may also be
initiated against appellant’s attorney. Id. 38.8(b)(4).
