I am counsel pro se in the afore mentioned cause of action styled and captioned.
Appellants Daryl Barnes and Demeatrice Goff hereby moves the Court, pursuant to
Rule 10.5 (b) of the T.R.A.P., Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, for an
extension of time of thirty days in which to file their Brief. The Brief currently is
due , March 19th, 2015.
This is the appellant’s first request for an extension of time. If the Court grants this
request, the Brief will be due on Wednesday, April 19th 2015.
The Record in this case is very long.. The transcripts have not been filed because
of non payment. the petitioners are pro se and unable to pay for the transcripts and
need time to gather the funds.

There are numerous exhibits, indeed the record on appeals itself is an exhibit.
Appellate counsel wish to ensure the Court is as fully briefed as possible
Acquisition of the Record in this case has necessitated more time than counsel
anticipated.
The Petitioners has not established their status as being indigent we only found out
thru the rejection of a legal document we attempted to file on March 14th 2015.
Although we did receive a request from the honorable court that we establish
indigence, petitioners thought that by forwarding the Affidavit Of Indigence
already filed and established in the 129th district court Harris County, TX
After speaking with the clerk of court we now understand what we must do to
remedy the situation..
The Appellants also would like the court to make rulings on a motion that the
petitioners attempted to file on March 14th 2015, which cannot be filed until status
of indigency has been established.
The petitioners are cognizant that the Court disfavors extensions of time and rarely
grants those greater than fourteen days. But given the voluminous Record and the
importance of briefing of the highest quality to at least the petitioner’s liberty and
the Court’s decision-making process, the appellant requests thirty days to make
certain that the issues on appeal are fully briefed and presented well to the Court.

Accordingly, this Court should extend the time in which to file the Brief of the
Appellant until April 19th2015.

Wherefore, Appellant s Daryl Barnes and Demeatrice Goff respectfully requests an
extension of time of thirty days in which to file his Brief.
                                              Respectfully submitted,
