Original Court Document: View Document
Appellant Rueben Justin Trejo is involved in an appeal before the Fourth Court of Appeals in San Antonio, Texas, concerning a case from the 144th Judicial District Court of Bexar County. The appellant's brief was initially due on May 18, 2022, but was not filed. The court granted a first extension to July 18, 2022, and subsequently a second extension to August 15, 2022, amounting to a total of eighty-nine days. On August 15, 2022, the appellant's counsel requested a third extension for an additional thirty days, citing the lack of a court reporter’s record from voir dire proceedings. The court noted that the reporter's record had been filed on April 18, 2022, and previous motions did not indicate any missing volumes. The court granted the third extension, now requiring the brief to be filed by September 14, 2022, and emphasized that no further extensions would be permitted. Failure to file by the new deadline may result in the appeal being abated and remanded to the trial court to assess whether the appeal has been abandoned. The order was issued by Justice Beth Watkins, with the court's official seal dated August 16, 2022.
