     APPELLANT'S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE
                       HIS REPLY BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellant, Tom Benson asks this Court to grant an extension of time to file

his reply brief.

                                    Introduction

1. Appellant is Tom Benson; appellee is The State of Texas.

2. There is no specific deadline to file this motion to extend time. See Tex. R. App.

P. 38.6(d).

APPELLANT'S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTENT TIME TO FILE HIS REPLY BRIEF
                                                                          PAGE l OF4
                               Argument & Authorities

3. The Court has the authority under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6(d) to

extend the time to file a brief.

4. Appellant's reply brief is due on June 18, 2015.

5. Appellant requests the Court to extend the date his reply brief is due until June

25, 2015.

6. No previous extension has been granted to extend the time to file Appellant's

reply brief.

7. Appellant needs additional time to file his reply brief for two reasons: the staff

member who helps in the preparation of the briefs in on vacation this week and the

construction of the statute in question as raised in the State's brief was not

contained in the State's Motion for Summary Judgment and not presented to the

trial court and it has required additional time to completely present the issue in the

reply brief. The purpose of this request is not for delay but to see that justice is

done on issue raised by the State.

                                      Conclusion

8. The appellant needs and requests an extension until June 25, 2015 to file his

brief and the State of Texas does not opposed the request.
