                       THE STATE OF TEXAS

                                             Appellee

          On appeal from the 359th Judicial District Court Of Montgomery County Texas
                      Trial Court Cause Number 15-09-09857-CR (Count 4)

               APPELLANT'S THIRD (3RD) MOTION FOR EXTENTION
                    OF TIME TO FILE THE APPELLANTS BRIEF


       COMES NOW RONALD EVAN COOPER, the Appellant herein, by and through

his Appellate Lawyer WILLIS EVERETT SMITH, ESQ. of Porter, Texas and files this

his Third Motion For Extension Of Time To File his Appellate brief which is due on

December 13th, 2017. Appellant's Attorney needs additional time to complete the final

research on this case which involves the deaths of four (4) people and the assault of two.

Appellant's Attorney has been involved in a number of contested trials that have caused a

delay in his researching these issues effectively. The continued amount of hearings and

trials have now sub-sides so counsel will have more time to devote to the research and

drafting of this appeal.




                                                                                             1
       WHEREFORE, PREMSED CONSIDERED, the appellant RONALD EVAN

COOPER PRAYS that this honorable court will allow this appeal to move forward in the

interest of justice and equity. Moreover, the Appellant asks that this Court GRANT him

an extension in which to file the brief.



                                             Respectfully Submitted,
