RONNY LEE WILLIAMS                     §    OF APPEALS

    MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:
      Now comes Ronny Lee Williams, Appellant in the above styled and
numbered cause, and moves this Court to grant an extension of time to file
appellant's brief, pursuant to Rule 38.6 of the Texas Rules of Appellate
Procedure, and for good cause shows the following:
      1.    These cases are on appeal from the 145TH Judicial District Court
of Nacogdoches County, Texas.
      2.    The cases below were styled the State of Texas vs. Ronny Lee
Williams, and numbered F1320424 and F1521685.
      3.    Appellant was convicted of Aggravated Robbery, Assault on a
Public Servant, and Possession of a Controlled Substance.
      4.    Appellant was assessed a sentence of seventy-five (75) years, ten
(10) years, and twenty (20) years in prison, respectively, on May 19, 2015.
      5.    Notice of appeal was given on May 20, 2015.
      6.    The clerk’s record was filed on September 16, 2015, and a
supplemental clerk’s record was filed on September 19, 2015; the reporter’s
record was filed on August 7, 2015.
      7.    The appellate brief is presently due on October 16, 2015.
      8.    Appellant requests an extension of time of one month from the
date that the Appellant’s Brief is currently due until November 16, 2015.

                                      -1-
     9.      No previous extensions to file Appellant’s brief have been
requested.
     10.     Appellant is currently incarcerated.
     11.     Appellant relies on the following facts as good cause for the
requested extension:
     In addition to his usual heavy schedule of criminal announcements and
client meetings, over the last two and one-half weeks, Counsel for Appellant
had a long, contested temporary hearing out-of-town after an improper post-
answer default on a client, two contested bench trials for which to prepare
last week, and civil discovery due this week. Counsel for Appellant has not
had adequate time to properly research and brief the issues.
     WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that
this Court grant this Motion To Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief, and for
such other and further relief as the Court may deem appropriate.

                                     Respectfully submitted,
