TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      NOW COMES DENE RAY McCARTER, the Appellant herein, and moves

the Court for an extension of time to file Appellant's Brief in this cause, pursuant to

TEX. R. APP. PROC. Rules 10.5 (b)(2) and 38.6(n), and in support thereof would

show the Court as follows:

                                          I.

      The Appellant in this cause was convicted by a jury of Murder in the 339th

District Court of Harris County, Texas in cause number 1391752 and Appellant was

sentenced to 52 years in Prison in the Texas Department of Corrections, Institutional

Division. Notice of Appeal was properly filed on December 04, 2014.

                                          II.

      The Clerk’s record was properly filed on June 15, 2015.

      The Reporter’s record was filed on July 09, 2015.

      The Exhibits were filed on July 15, 2015.

      Appellant’s brief was due on August 10, 2015.

      This is a voluminous record. The case is complicated.

                                         III.

       No previous extensions have been filed.

                                           2
      Appellant’s attorney is requesting a 60-day extension of time to file

Appellant’s Brief to October 10, 2015.

                                         IV.

      Appellant’s attorney is requesting this extension of time to file Appellant’s

Brief due to multiple trial settings that are demanding an enormous amount of

preparation time.

      This motion is not made for delay, but instead, to ensure effective assistance

of counsel.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the undersigned counsel, on

behalf of Appellant, respectfully prays that this Honorable Court grant this extension

to October 10, 2015.

                                      RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
