545 413 2011 35 35 228 21 2009 v. << (2011)

Court of Appeals of Texas, Austin.

Richard C. Renfro was ticketed for the offense of failing to wear his seatbelt while riding in a passenger vehicle.  See Tex. Transp.  Code Ann. § 545.413 (West 2011).  Renfro challenged the charge in a municipal court jury trial, where the jury found him guilty and assessed as punishment a $35 fine.  Renfro then appealed the verdict to the county court at law, where a second jury convicted him on these same charges and again assessed a $35 fine as punishment.  In addition, the county court assessed $228 in court costs.  Renfro then filed a notice of appeal with this Court on December 21, 2009.  Renfro has failed to file his appellate brief in this Court despite being granted almost seven months of extensions of time, the last of which carried a warning that no further extensions would be granted.1  Finding no fundamental error apparent
