1. In the 405th District Court of Galveston County, Texas, in cause number 13-CR-3062

Appellant was convicted of Assault Causing Bodily Injury – Public Servant in The 

State of Texas v. Robert Wayne Rollins. 

2. On August 28, 2014, the trial court sentenced Appellant to twenty-eight years’ 

confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division

(TDCJ), for the offense of Assault Causing Bodily Injury – Public Servant. 

3. Appellant timely filed written notice of appeal on August 28, 2014. 

4. Appellant’s brief is due on July 20, 2015. 

5. This is Appellant’s final motion for extension of time to file Appellant’s appellate 

brief on the merits.

6. A final extension of time in which to file the Appellant’s brief is requested until July 

27, 2015.

7. The facts relied upon to explain the need for this extension are:

The original court reporter in the case lost the only video entered into 

evidence at Appellant’s trial, which was marked and entered at Appellant’s trial as 

State’s Exhibit #1. Recently, a DVD alleged to be State’s Exhibit #1 was rediscovered

and the trial court held a verification hearing on July 10, 2015 to determine whether 

the found video should be filed with this Court as State’s Exhibit #1. On that day, 

Appellate counsel received a certified copy of the DVD now filed with this court as 

State’s Exhibit #1. The DVD now filed with this Court as State’s Exhibit #1 

contained eight patrol videos, which Appellate counsel was required to review and 

incorporate into his appellate brief. Consequently, the requested extension of time is
Page 3 of 4

necessary to permit the undersigned attorney to adequately finish preparing and filing 

Appellant’s brief in light of the additional patrol videos contained in State’s Exhibit 

#1. 

8. Appellant’s motion for extension of time to file Appellant’s brief is not made for 

purposes of delay but so that justice may be done.

WHEREFORE, Appellant prays that this Court will grant an extension of time until

July 27, 2015 for the undersigned attorney to complete and file Appellant’s brief in this case.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ Kevin Stryker
