                                     Appointed Attorney for Appellant
                              1
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      NOW COMES GREGORIO MORENO, 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 pled not guilty in the 185th District Court of

Harris County, Texas in cause number 1406639 plead not guilty and had a jury

trial. The jury found Appellant guilty and sentence was assessed 50 years in the

Texas Department of Corrections, Institutional Division on May 23, 2014. Notice

of Appeal was filed on May 23, 2014.

                                          II.

      The Clerk’s record was timely filed.

      The Reporter’s record was timely filed.

                                         III.

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

Brief to February 09, 2015.

                                         IV.

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

for the following two reasons:
                                           2
(1)   The record contains over 15 volumes and the undersigned attorney is only

60% through the record.

(2)   The undersigned attorney has been unable to complete Appellant’s brief due

to moving her office of 22 years and discovering/firing her secretary for

embezzlement of about $30,000.00 (for which the attorney has not had time to file

charges). 2014 was a rough year but if given more time, Appellant’s brief will be

properly completed.

      The Appellant in this case was sentenced to 50 years so I pray this

Honorable Court grants this extension so the undersigned appointed attorney can

properly prosecute this case on appeal.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the undersigned counsel, on

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

extension to February 09, 2015.

                                      RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
                                      /s/ Vivian R. King
