                         Honorable Russell Wilson, Judge Presiding


                                         ORDER
        Appellant’s brief was originally due to be filed on October 21, 2019. Appellant’s first
motion requesting an extension of time to file the brief was granted, extending the deadline for
filing the brief to November 20, 2019. The brief has not been filed. Appellant’s attorney is
ORDERED to respond to this court in writing within ten days of the date of this order. The
response should state a reasonable explanation for failing to timely file the brief and demonstrate
the steps being taken to remedy the deficiency. If appellant’s attorney fails to file an adequate
response within ten days, this appeal will be abated to the trial court for an abandonment hearing,
and the trial court will be asked to consider whether sanctions are appropriate. TEX. R. APP. P.
