' FILED IN 3rd COURT OF APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS 7/23/2015 12:46:15 PM JEFFREY D. KYLE Clerk
Comes now, Jose Vela Ill, on behalf of Appellant Moses Martinez and files this 

motion to extend time pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 

in support of the motion states: 

1. Appellant's brief was due June 22, 2015. Due to a calendaring error, a 

motion to extend time was not timely filed before June 22, 2015. 

2. Appellant contacted the court reporter to request the record on June 8, 

2015. The court reporter replied on June 12, 2015 and provided an invoice. 

However, the client was unable to pay the invoice until July 14, 2015. 

3. The court reporter has confirmed receipt of the payment and should have 

the record prepared by August 1, 2015. Correspondence between counsel 

and the court reporter is attached to this motion as Exhibit A. 

4. Appellant requests that the deadline for filing Appellant's brief be extended 

until August 28, 2015 so as to give the court reporter enough time to 

prepare the record and give counsel enough time to review the record and 

prepare his brief. 

5. This is the first extension requested by Appellant.

County 

I've been out of the office for a week, and did get the check today. I've tried to get the COA #for the 

case, but can't find it. Do you happen to have it? I should have it finished and sent off to the Court of 

Appeals within a week. 

Thank you, 

Shannon Adler, CSR

Dear Mr. Vela, 

Attached is the invoice for the Reporter's Record taken in the case of Moises Martinez. Your email 

will suffice as a request for the Record. 

You may send payment to me at PO Box 1192, Belton, TX 76513. I will not begin the transcript until 

I receive payment.

Ms. Shannon Adler, 

I represent Moises Martinez in his appeal and would like you to prepare the record. Do you need a 

formal letter or will this email suffice? Could you send an invoice so I can get payment from my client? 

My assistant told me it would be about $400. Thanks. 

Sincerely, 

Jose "Chito" Vela Ill
