       Now comes Geneva Doris Vasquez, 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.      This case is on appeal from the 159th District Court of Trinity County,
Texas.
       2.      The case below was styled the STATE OF TEXAS vs. Geneva Doris
Vasquez, and numbered 2012-0039. Appellant was convicted of Fraud.
       5.      On January 22, 2013, the State filed a Motion to Adjudicate Guilt.
       6.      Appellant pled “True” to allegations of the State’s Motion to
Adjudication.
       7.      A pre-sentence investigation was ordered and a sentencing hearing
was conducted . Appellant was assessed a sentence of Two (2) years State Jail on
August 29, 2014.
       8.      Notice of appeal of was filed on September 26, 2014.
      9.        The appellate brief is presently due on March 6, 2015.
      10.       Appellant requests an extension of time of three (3) days from the
present date.

court schedules, Counsel will be unable to submit the brief by end of business and
therefore requests three days extension.
