           UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
                        BRIEF FOR APPELLANT
                   _________________________________

To the Honorable Justices of the Court of Appeals:

       Appellant, ALVIN PERRY JONES, by and through his Counsel of Record,

JARED ROBINSON, files this Unopposed Motion to Extend Time to File Brief and in

support shows this Court the following:

                                           I.

       Appellant was convicted one count of Aggravated Robbery on June 24, 2015. The

jury assessed punishment at 35 years incarceration in the Texas Department of Criminal

Justice.
       On November 21, 2013, the Galveston County Grand Jury returned an enhanced

indictment of True Bill. A jury trial was held beginning on June 22nd, 2015. The jury

found the defendant guilty on June 24th, 2015 and sentenced the defendant to Thirty-Five

(35) years imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice on the same day.

                                             II.

       Appellant’s brief is due on or before October 22, 2015. Appellant’s counsel

respectfully requests an extension for at least sixty days to file Appellant’s brief. The

Assistant District Attorney handling the case, Rebecca Klaren, has indicated the State of

Texas is unopposed to Appellant’s request for an extension.

       Appellant’s counsel needs additional time to complete his brief and additional

time to review the Reporter’s Record because of conflicts created by work in other cases.

More specifically, counsel for Appellant has been in trial in the 405th Dictrict Court in

Galveston County, representing a client who has been charged with two First Degree

Felonies. Counsel also has numerous other cases set for trial in the months of October

and November in Galveston and Brazoria Counties. This is the first request for an

extension of time filed with this Court. Therefore Counsel requests that this Court extend

the time to file Appellant’s Brief until at least December 21st, 2015.

                                           Respectfully Submitted,

                                           JONES ROBINSON, LLP.
