                                   COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE

                    No further extensions of time will be granted.
       Denied
       Dismissed (e.g., want of jurisdiction, moot)
       Other: _____________________________________
       Because appellant’s counsel’s fifth extension request states that Hurricane Harvey has
       still disrupted the functioning of her office, the Court grants the motion, but counsel is
       warned that no further extensions are to be granted. See Extension of Emergency
       Order Authorizing Modification and Suspension of Court Procedures in Proceedings
       Affected by Disaster, Misc. Docket No. 17-013 (Tex. Crim. App. Sept. 26, 2017); TEX.
       R. APP. P. 2, 38.6(d). TEX. R. APP. P. 2, 38.6(d). Accordingly, if appellant’s brief is
       not filed by October 26, 2017, the Court may abate this case. See id. 38.8(b)(2).
