STATE OF TEXAS                            §         OF THE STATE OF TEXAS Clerk

    MOTION TO EXTEND DEADLINE FOR FILING APPELLANT’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

      COMES NOW, Larry Joe Jones, the Appellant, in the above styled and numbered

cause, and files this motion for an extension to December 9, 2015, to file the appellate

brief. In support of this motion, appellant shows the following:

                                              I.

      The appellant was tried for the offense of Evading Arrest, in Brazos County, Texas,

under Cause Number 14-02769-CRF-85. At the conclusion of the trial, the jury found the

appellant guilty, and he was sentenced to seventy-five years in the Texas Department of

Criminal Justice on May 5, 2015. A timely notice of appeal was filed in this case. The

appellant's brief is due December 9, 2015.

                                              II.

      The reason for the extension of the deadline to file the appellant’s brief is based on

the following:

      Appellant's counsel is scheduled to go to trial in Cause No. D1GN14000461, in the

261st District Court of Travis County, Texas, on November 16, 2015. Because of
preparation for this impending trial, counsel requires some more time to complete a

thorough review and briefing of the issues in this case.

      For these reasons, counsel moves that the deadline for the brief be extended until

December 9, 2015.

                                              RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
