TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

     Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5 and 38.6(d), the Appellant, Paul

Daniel Campbell, files this First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s

Brief.

     The Appellant’s opening brief is currently due on March 19, 2015.

     Counsel for Appellant, Paul Daniel Campbell, requests a 60 day

extension of time to file Appellant’s brief, making the brief due on May 18,

2015. This is the second request for extension of time to file the opening

brief.

     Counsel for Appellant relies on the following reasons, in addition to the

routine matters that counsel must attend to in daily practice, to explain the

need for the requested extension:

     1)    Counsel for Appellant had a murder jury trial February 9 through

          16 in Caldwell County Texas.

     2)    Counsel for Appellant has several approaching jury trial settings

          in District and County Courts.

     3)   Counsel for Appellant has been working on Appellate Number 13-

          14-00559-CR.

     Counsel for Appellant seeks this extension of time to be able to prepare

   a cogent and succinct brief to aid this Court in its analysis of the issues
presented. This request is not sought for delay but so that justice may be

done,

 All facts recited in this motion are within the personal knowledge of the

counsel signing this motion, therefore no verification is necessary under

Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.2.

                       PRAYER FOR RELIEF

 For the reasons set forth above, Appellant respectfully requests that this

Court grant this First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief

and extend the deadline for filing the Appellant’s Brief up to May 18,

2015. Appellant requests all other relief to which Appellant may be

entitled.
