TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      NOW COMES DENE RAY McCARTER, 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 was convicted by a jury of Murder in the 339th

District Court of Harris County, Texas in cause number 1391752 and Appellant

was sentenced to 52 years in Prison in the Texas Department of Corrections,

Institutional Division. Notice of Appeal was properly filed on December 04, 2014.

                                          II.

      The Clerk’s record was properly filed on June 15, 2015.

      The Reporter’s record was filed on July 09, 2015.

      The Exhibits were filed on July 15, 2015.

      This is a voluminous record. The case is complicated.

                                         III.

       One previous extension has been granted.

      Appellant’s attorney is requesting an extension to November 06, 2015 to file

Appellant’s Brief.

                                           2
                                        IV.

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

Brief due to weekly trial settings and other cases requiring research and court

appearances, and, specifically a 25 to Life case set on Monday, November 02, 2015

in the 179th District Court (Casue #1450399).

      This motion is not made for delay, but instead, to ensure effective assistance

of counsel.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the undersigned counsel, on

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

extension to November 06, 2015.

                                    RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
