                  EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

        Aaron Michael Alkek, Appellant in the above styled and numbered cause, by and through

his attorney of record, Lindsay O. Williams, files this Appellant’s Motion for Extension of Time

to File Appellant’s Brief pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellant Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d),

and in support respectfully shows the Court the following:

1. The Appellant’s Brief is due on Wednesday, December 20, 2017.

2. Appellant seeks an extension of the time for filing the Appellant’s Brief for thirty (30) days,

     making the Appellant’s Brief due on Friday, January 19, 2018.

3. Appellant requests this extension of time because Appellant’s counsel has been working on

     several other cases and needs more time to review the record and complete this brief.

4. This extension is not requested for the purposes of delay but so that justice may be done and

     the undersigned counsel may effectively represent Appellant in this matter.

5. This is Appellant’s first request for an extension of time to file the Appellant’s Brief.

6. Appellant is currently incarcerated.

        Appellant respectfully requests that this Court issue an order extending the time within

which to file the Appellant’s Brief until Friday, January 19, 2018.
Dated: December 20, 2017
