V.                                                   Trial Cause No. 1381559

THE STATE OF TEXAS
Appellee

      FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

      ANGELA CAMERON, attorney of record for Appellant in the above cause,

would respectfully request the Court to grant her motion to extend time for file brief.

In support of said motion, counsel would show unto the Court the following:

                                          I.

      This appeal lies from Appellant's conviction in The State of Texas v. Charles

Roberts Cause Number 1381559 in the 177th District Court of Harris County. Roberts

was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 50 years in the Texas Department of

Corrections and $1,125 for restitution. Notice of Appeal was timely filed. The brief

is due on February 26, 2015. No prior extensions have been granted.
                                            II.

        Counsel will not be able to file the brief for the following reasons:

           1. Counsel filed a brief on February 3, 2015 in Israel Alcaraz v. State of Texas,
              Cause Number 01-14-00676-CR.

                                                  VI.

        An extension of time is necessary so that the brief can be timely filed. This

motion is not made for the purpose of delay.

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this

Honorable Court will grant this requested extension of time to file the Appellant's

Brief in the above cause and extend the time for filing the brief for at least thirty (30)

days.

                                          Respectfully submitted,
