Art. 44.33. [856] [949] [915] HEARING IN APPELLATE
COURT. (a) The Court of Criminal Appeals shall make rules of
posttrial and appellate procedure as to the hearing of criminal
actions not inconsistent with this Code. After the record is filed
in the Court of Appeals or the Court of Criminal Appeals the parties
may file such supplemental briefs as they may desire before the case
is submitted to the court. Each party, upon filing any such
supplemental brief, shall promptly cause true copy thereof to be
delivered to the opposing party or to the latter's counsel. In
every case at least two counsel for the defendant shall be heard in
the Court of Appeals if such be desired by defendant. In every case
heard by the Court of Criminal Appeals at least two counsel for the
defendant shall be permitted oral argument if desired by the
appellant.
(b) Appellant's failure to file his brief in the time
prescribed shall not authorize a dismissal of the appeal by the
Court of Appeals or the Court of Criminal Appeals, nor shall the
Court of Appeals or the Court of Criminal Appeals, for such reason,
refuse to consider appellant's case on appeal.
