FIRST MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING APPELLANT'S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS JUDGES:

COMES NOW, Louanne Larson, appellant, pro se, and

respectfully moves the Court to extend the time for filing

AppellantTs Brief, and, in accordance with T.R.A.P. 73, submits

the following:

1. Trial Court Case Number: 10,846

2. Style of Case: State of Texas VS. Louanne Larson

3. Trial Court: 115th District Court of Marion County,

Texas

4. Offense: Capital Murder

5. Punishment Assessed: Life confinement in TDCJ to serve

35 calendar years before parole eligibility

B. Length of Extension Sought: 14 Days

7. Facts Relied Upon to Reasonably Explain the Need for an

Extension: On December 14, 2015 response was received From the

Court of Appeals District Clerk stating that the Trial Court 's

Reporter's Record Statements of Facts had not been received at

yourr Honorable Court. The Motion For Forensic Trace Evidence

Search and DNA Testing relies on the statements of facts

volumes and page numbers therein to verify and prove the truth

and accuracy of the matter, without which, the Court cannot

Z?jul^ bfffgf
(X^fc-^-*—

determine the facts. Secondly, I was informed the appellant's

brief was due on or before December 09, 2015. I did not receive

the letter until December 14, 2015 at the Mountain View Unit

Mailroom, 5 days after the due date. I was not aware that an

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

Criminal Procedure Article 64 and submitted the Motion and

Accompanying Affidavit that contain the volume and page numbers

to prove facts, state and federal case laws supporting my

argument, exhibits, and documentation supporting the need for

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.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Movant prays that this

Court will extend the time within which to File Appellant Ts

Brief for 14 days, or whichever time the Court finds reasonable

and acceptable.
