To the Honorable Court of Appeals of Texas:

      Comes now Appellant, in accordance with Rules 10.5(b)(1) and 38.6(d) of the

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and files this motion for extension of time in

which to file the Appellant’s brief in this cause, and, in support thereof, presents the

following:
      1. In the 182nd District Court of Harris County, Texas, following a

          presentence investigation hearing, Appellant was sentenced on January 5,

          2015 in Cause No. 1409436, The State of Texas v. Alfred Dean Johnson.

      2. For the offense of Aggravated Robbery with a deadly weapon, Appellant

          was sentenced to thirty years in the Texas Department of Corrections.

      3. A written notice of appeal was timely filed on January 5, 2015.

      4. The Appellant’s brief was due May 26, 2015.

      5. An extension of time in which to file the Appellant’s brief is requested until

          June 26, 2015.

      6. Two previous extensions have been granted to the Appellant.

      7. The facts relied upon to explain the need for this extension are:

             a. Appellate counsel received a copy of the supplement to the appellate

                 record on April 15, 2015.

             b. Due to other deadlines and trial settings that were already set during

                 May, appellate counsel needs additional time to complete the brief.

      Consequently, additional time will be necessary in which to file Appellant’s

brief in this case. The Appellant’s motion is not for purposes of delay, but so that

justice may be done.

      WHEREFORE, the Appellant prays that this Court will grant an additional

extension of time until June 26, 2015 in which to file Appellant’s brief in this cause.
