TO    THE      HONORABLE          COURT       OF       APPEALS:
                                                                                                              CATHY S. LUSK
          COMES NOW, Robert C.                         Morris, Pro Se Appellant,                         in    the above stV
numbered cause and                     respectfully files                      and submits             this his first Motion
for Extension of Time to File Prci.Se Appellant Brief, purusuant to
the Rules of Appellate Procedure. Morris shows cause for an 30-day
extension            through          the following.
                                                                     I.

          Morris       is currently incarcerated                               in    the Smith Unit of TDCJ                      in
Lamesa, Texas.                  Morris       is    limited          to       the hours          to access          the    Law    Library
to    a   maximum          of    10    hours       a    weeks.       He       is    not       educated       nor    verse       in    the

law and         the    complex          issues          to be       raised          in    this    appeal.
          To    further          cause       request          for    extesion             of time,       the       Smith    Unit

Law Library and all TDCJ law                                 libraries are out-dated, inadequate for
researching            issues. Morris                   is    limited          to using out-dated law books                            to
find cases that are from                           2006 or older, unless he takes several steps
to    locate current case                     laws,          which he          is    then       limited       to    the access,
causing         delays          to obtain          research material.
          Therefore, Morris request the Court                                        to grant a 30-day extension to
file his Pro Se Appellant Brief.
                                                                PR AYE R

          WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED,                                    the Appellant Robert C. Morris,
prays the Court grants an extension of                                             time for 30 days moving the filing
deadline            from   February 15, 2015                    to a         new deadline of March                       17, 2015 ,
in the         interest of             justice.
                                                                                           Respectfully Submitted,
