                                                  1
       7.      Appellant requests an extension of time of 30 days from May 13, 2015, thereby

               making the appellant's brief to be filed on or before June 12, 2015.

       9.      Defendant is incarcerated in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of

               Criminal Justice.

       10.     Appellant relies on the following facts as good cause for the requested extension:


       Counsel for the Appellant is a sole practitioner and has a very active civil and criminal

trial practice. Counsel has been involved in trial preparations for the following felony cases:

                       Cause No. 14-06-06335-CR; Aggravated Robbery (x2) and Evading

       Counsel has been preparing for numerous hearings in different cause numbers as well,

and needs more time in order to complete the brief now due.

                                                   II.

      This extension is not sought for the purpose of delaying this appeal, but so that justice




                                                   2
may be done. Additional time is needed and is requested in order to make a complete and

thorough review of the record, review the many case, statutes, rules and "other" citations and for

counsel to prepare the Appellant's brief.

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this Honorable Court

grant this First Motion for Extension Time to File Appellant's Brief, and for such other and further

relief, as the Court may deem appropriate.
