XAVIER PEREZ,                                                                 Appellant,

                                            v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                 Appellee.
____________________________________________________________

             On appeal from the 445th District Court
                  of Cameron County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                     ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF
            Before Justices Contreras, Longoria, and Hinojosa
                            Order Per Curiam

       This cause is currently before the Court on appellant's second motion for extension

of time to file the brief. Appellant’s brief was originally due on March 7, 2018. This Court

has previously granted appellant one extension of time totaling 90 days to file the brief,

and appellant now seeks an additional 60 days, until August 6, 2018, to file the brief.

       The Court GRANTS appellant’s second motion for extension to file the brief and
ORDERS the Honorable Rebecca E. RuBane to file the brief on or before August 6, 2018.

The Court looks with disfavor on the delay caused by counsel’s failure to timely file a brief

in this matter. No further extensions will be granted absent exigent circumstances. If

counsel fails to file the brief within the specified period of time, the Court will act

appropriately to ensure that appellant's rights are protected. See id. R. 38.8(b)(4).

                                                  PER CURIAM

Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

Delivered and filed the
26th day of June, 2018.
