       On November 14, 2012, the Court adopted the trial court’s findings that appellant desires

to pursue the appeal and that counsel would file appellant’s brief by November 19, 2012. To

       Accordingly, the Court ORDERS appellant to file his brief within FIFTEEN DAYS of

the date of this order. No further extensions will be granted. If appellant’s brief is not filed

within the time specified, the Court will order Mary Scanlon removed as appellant’s attorney and

order the trial court to appoint new counsel to represent appellant in this appeal.

       We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the

Honorable Mark Rusch, Presiding Judge, 401st Judicial District Court; Mary Scanlon; and to the
Collin County District Attorney’s Office.
