          Dismissed (e.g., want of jurisdiction, moot)
          Other: _____________________________________
          On March 2, 2015, the Clerk of this Court granted appellant’s second extension and
          warned counsel that no further extensions would be granted absent exceptional
          circumstances. Appellant’s motion states that, since the complete record was filed,
          counsel has been appointed to three felony cases where the prior attorney withdrew
          after the case was set for trial and counsel has been given a short time to prepare. Thus,
          appellant’s motion is granted, but counsel is warned that no further extensions will
          be granted. Accordingly, if appellant’s brief is not filed by May 4, 2015, the Court
          may abate this appeal for a hearing. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2).
