III.

There has been no prior request for an extension of time to file the appellant's brief.

IV.

The attorney for the appellant is a sole practitioner actively involved in both appellate and 

trial work. In addition to the demands of counsel's customary court and office practice, the 

following cases have significantly impaired counsel's ability to timely complete the appellant's 

brief: 

A. On June 10, 2015 counsel began a non-death capital murder trial in the 338th District

Court entitled The State of Texas v. Victor Alas that concluded on June 19, 2015.

B. On June 23, 2015 counsel began a second non-death capital murder trial in the 248th

District Court entitled The State of Texas v. Julian Valdez that concluded on June 25, 

2015.

C. On July 10, 2015 counsel began a third non-death capital murder trial in the 351st

District Court entitled The State of Texas v. Jamon Walker that concluded on July 15, 

2015.

D. Counsel is scheduled to begin a drug trial on July 27, 2015 in the 262nd District Court 

entitled The State of Texas v. Noe Pena, Jr.

V.

Because of the demands of the aforementioned trials and other pending litigation as well 

as appellate briefs an extension of time to October 16, 2015 is requested.

VI.

This Motion is not intended for the purposes of delay, but only so that justice may be 
3

done.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the attorney for the appellant requests that 

the court extend the time for filing the appellant's brief until October 16, 2015.

Respectfully submitted,
