                MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
            WITHIN WHICH TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF

        NOW COMES KEVIN WIMES, appellant in the above-captioned

cause, by and through his attorney, TERRENCE GAISER, and files his

Motion for Extension of time within which to file Appellant’s Brief; for

which he would show:

1) This is an appeal from a conviction for the offense of aggravated sexual

   assault of a child. Punishment was assessed at forty years confinement.

   Notice of appeal was timely filed.

2) This is the second extension of time. The brief was due April 20, 2015.

3) Appellant would request an extension of time to file the brief to and

      including the 11th day of May, 2015.

4) For good cause counsel for the appellant would show that he has not had

      time to complete the brief in this cause for the following reasons:

   a) When counsel was appointed in this case, on January 26, 2015,

        counsel was not informed that this appeal had been abated, and the

        record had already been filed. Counsel assumed this appeal would

                                         1
      follow the normal course of events and the record would be filed at a

      future date. It was two weeks later, through the order of this court,

      that counsel learned the brief was already late. The record in this case

      is in excess of 800 pages

      b) Counsel has been in the criminal courts of the State of Texas in

      Harris County, Texas, and surrounding counties on a daily basis since

      the inception of this appeal as follows:
