unable to complete the brief due to necessary work needed to be completed

on several other appeal cases and due to her busy schedule in both the 

district and county courts of Travis, Williamson and Hays Counties. She 

recently filed a supplemental brief in the case of In the Matter of J.M., 03-

14-00027-CV and she is preparing for oral argument in that case on April 

22, 2015. This next week she will be filing a brief in the case of State of 

Texas v. Brian Roland Chandler, Cause No. 03-14-00547-CR, and she is 
also working on briefs in the cases of Troy Luther Williams v. State of 

Texas, Cause Nos. 03-14-00228-CR and 03-14-00229-CR. She asks that 

this extension be granted so that she may effectively represent Appellant and 

so that justice may be done in this case. 

 Respectfully Submitted
