               MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
                        APPELLATE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

      COMES NOW, Appellant, and files this Motion for an Extension in which to

file the Appellant’s Brief. In support of this motion, appellant shows the Court the

following:

                                       I.

      The Appellant was convicted in the District Court of Travis County, Texas of

the offense of Manslaughter. Appellant was assessed 15 years TDCJ.

                                       II.

      The deadline for filing the Appellant’s Brief is December 14, 2015 and

Appellant has requested four previous extensions.

                                       III.

      Attorney for the Appellant would further show the Court that he has been
diligent in preparing Appellant’s brief in this case. Counsel has completed most of the

brief in this case and files it on Monday December 21, with this motion for extension

of time. This Court had set a No Further Extension upon counsel’s last request for

extension. Counsel files this brief and motion in conformity with T.R.A.P. 26.3 and

T.R.A.P. 38.6(d), and 38.8(b).

      WHEREFORE, Appellant prays the Court grant this Motion and extend the

deadline for filing the Appellant’s Brief to December 21, 2015.


                                               Respectfully Submitted,
