                  THIRD MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO
                      FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

      Now comes Bradley Curtis Kougher, Appellant in the above styled and

numbered cause, and moves this Court to grant an extension of time to file

appellant's brief, pursuant to Rule 38.6 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure,

and for good cause shows the following:

      1.    This case is on appeal from the 8th Judicial District Court of Hopkins

County, Texas.

      2.    The case below was styled the STATE OF TEXAS vs. Bradley Curtis

Kougher, and numbered 1726304 and 1726305.

      3.    Appellant was convicted of Indecency with a Child by Sexual Contact

and Sexual Performance of a Child under 14 years of age.

      4.    Appellant was assessed a sentence of Twenty years in Cause No.

1726304 and Life in Cause No. 1726305 on January 11, 2018.

      5.    Notice of appeal was given on January 19, 2018.
      6.     The clerk's record was filed on March 14, 2018; the reporter's record

was filed on March 12, 2018.

      7.     The appellate brief is presently due on June 4, 2018.

      8.     Appellant requests an extension of time of 3 days from the present

date, i.e. June 7, 2018.

      9.     Two extensions to file the brief has been received in this cause.

      10.    Defendant is currently incarcerated.

      11.    Appellant relies on the following facts as good cause for the requested

extension:

      Appellant’s Attorney mistakenly calendared the due date for Appellant’s

Brief as June 7, 2018. Upon reviewing the file, Appellant’s Attorney notice the

letter from the Court granting the last motion for extension and setting the due date

as today, June 4, 2018. Appellant’s Attorney diligently worked on the Brief from

that moment until the filing of the Motion for Extension but was unable to finish.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this

Court grant this Motion To Extend Time to File Appellant's Brief, and for such

other and further relief as the Court may deem appropriate.

                                       Respectfully submitted,
