ORDER OF ABATEMENT AND REMAND

Appellant, Norma Linda Cardenas, filed a notice of appeal from her conviction for murder and life sentence. The Clerk of this Court received and filed the trial court clerk’s record on August 8, 2010. The trial court reporter’s record was received on October 8. Appellant’s brief was originally due on November 8. By letter dated November 16, this Court notified appellant that her brief was past due. On November 22, appellant filed her motion for extension of time in which to file her brief. The Court granted that motion, making appellant’s brief due December 8. On December 13, appellant filed her second motion for extension of time in which to file her brief. The Court granted that motion as well, making the brief due January 7, 2011. By letter dated January 14 and pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.8, the Court notified appellant that her brief was past due and that appellant’s brief was now due in this Court on or before January 24. Further, the Court alerted appellant that failure to abide by this deadline would result in the appeal being abated and remanded without further notice. As of the date of this order, appellant has failed to file her brief or a motion for extension of time to file her brief.
