     APPELLANT’S MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING OF
                   APPELLANT’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

       COMES NOW THE APPELLANT, by and through his appointed

attorney of record, Paul M. Evans, in the above entitled and numbered

cause, and moves this Court, to grant the Appellant’s Motion to Extend

Time for Filing Appellant’s Brief, and, in support thereof, would show the

Court as follows:

                                I.

       Appellant’s Brief is due before this Court on this date, April 6, 2015.

No previous Motions to Extend Time have been sought.

                                II.

       The undersigned counsel anticipates filing an Anders brief in the

instant cause. On this same date, the undersigned counsel noticed a

discrepancy in the record. To-wit, the “Docket Sheet” found in the Clerk’s

Record—see CR1 82-3—was apparently electronically scanned by the
Travis County District Clerk shortly after sentencing in the instant cause.

After examining in person the actual physical docket sheet on this same

date, the undersigned counsel confirmed his suspicion that the trial court

had made one additional notation on said docket sheet that is not reflected

by the version found in the present Clerk’s Record. At the undersigned

counsel’s request, the District Clerk will be supplementing the Clerk’s

Record with the “updated” “Docket Sheet” forthwith.

                                 III.

      Counsel would very respectfully request that the deadline for the

Appellant’s brief be extended to April 14, 2015, in order that the

undersigned counsel may have ample opportunity to incorporate the

supplemental material into the Appellant’s Brief and fulfill his obligations

both to his client and to this Court.

                                IV.

      This Motion is not made for purposes of delay, but so that justice

might be served.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the Defendant respectfully

prays that this Court, upon good cause shown, grant the Appellant’s Motion

to Extend Time for Filing Appellant’s Brief.
                                          Respectfully submitted,
