       The Appellant in this cause was convicted in the 188th District Court, Gregg County,

       The Appellant hereby requests an extension of time to file Appellant=s Brief.

       The undersigned counsel has been unable to devote sufficient time to the review of the

doctor’s appointment on June 4, 2015 and continues to be under a doctor’s care.

and misdemeanor cases at various stages of litigation.
