 STATE OF TEXAS                         §    OF APPEALS, Austin, Texas

       MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

       Now comes JOHN LYNN KOLSTER 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 (d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate

Procedure, and for good cause shows

the following:

             1.   On December 14, 2015 this counsel filed Appellant's Motion to

            Extend Time to File Appellant's Brief.

            2.    This case is on appeal from the 391 st District Court of Tom

            Green County Texas.

            3.    The case below was styled In the State vs. John Lynn Kolster

            and numbered D-14-0523-SB. Appellant was convicted on November

            21, 2014 of Assault, Domestic Violence with prior convictions

                                                                                1
       enhanced to a second degree felony, and sentenced to 7 years in the

       institutional division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice

       5.       A motion for new trial was filed November 20, 2014. Notice of

       appeal was given on December 18, 2014.

       6.       The clerk's record was filed on April 29, 2015; the reporter's

       record was filed on February 17, 2015.

8.    Counsel is Appointed in this matter. This Counsel was not trial

      counsel in this matter, and has recently finished reviewing the record.

      Counsel believes that an Ander's Brief in this matter may be

      appropriate, and is re-reviewing the record to confirm there is no error

      in the trial court's judgement. Counsel believes without additional

      time the Appellant will be denied effective assistance of counsel.

      9.     Counsel, therefore, requests this court extend the time for filing

      said Brief to 35 days from the current due date ofNovember 16, 2015.

       10.   Two previous Extensions have been granted regarding this

      matter.

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.
                                                                             2
