                appellant's brief was required,                      as    I    relied       on   Texas        Code of

                the Motion to granted and the trace evidence search and testing

                done.     I    did not intentionally or neglectfully fail to file the

                appellant's brief,            I wasn't        aware       it    was     required.         I    beg the

                Court     to   grant      the extension,           or in the alternative,                     consider

                the Motion and          Affidavit        as    appellant's             brief.     I throw myself

                on the mercy          of the Honorable Court.
