  HARLEM HAROLD LEWIS, III                                                 IN THE COURT

  THE STATE OF TEXAS                                                      AUSTIN, TEXAS


                           MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME


        COMES NOW, appellant, by and through his attorney of record, Gerald E.

  Bourque, and in accordance with Rule 10.5(b) of The Texas Rules of Appellate

  Procedure, hereby requests an extension of time in which to file his Brief and would

  respectfully show:

        1.      Name of Trial Court:   351st District Court


        2.      Trial Court Style:   Cause No. 1428102,
                                     The State of Texas v. HARLEM HAROLD LEWIS, III


        3.      Offense: Capital Murder

        4.      Punishment assessed:    Death


        5.      Present Filing Deadline: June 8, 2015

         6.     Length of Extension Requested:     180 days

         7.     Number of Previous Extensions: None by current counsel

        8.      Good Cause for this Extension is as follows:   This is a capital murder case
  and counsel was not the trial counsel.        The record is voluminous and the case is
  complex. Counsel was appointed to replace prior appellate counsel and has been
  studying the entire record in order to identify potential issues, conduct the necessary
  research, and complete the brief for appellant. The voluminous record requires an
  inordinate amount of time in order to complete these tasks. These tasks are necessary
  to provide the effective assistance of counsel.
       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, appellant respectfully files this motion

before the expiration of the filing deadline, and prays for the requested extension.




                                                 Respectfully submitted,
