                MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
            WITHIN WHICH TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF

        NOW COMES KEVIN WIMES, appellant in the above-captioned

cause, by and through his attorney, TERRENCE GAISER, and files his

Motion for Extension of time within which to file Appellant’s Brief; for

which he would show:

1) This is an appeal from a conviction for the offense of aggravated sexual

   assault of a child. Punishment was assessed at forty years confinement.

   Notice of appeal was timely filed.

2) This is the first requested extension of time. The brief was due March

      21, 2015.

3) Appellant would request an extension of time to file the brief to and

      including the 20th day of April, 2015.

4) For good cause counsel for the appellant would show that he has not had

      time to complete the brief in this cause for the following reasons:

   a) When counsel was appointed in this case, counsel was not informed

        that this appeal had been abated. Counsel assumed this appeal would
     follow the normal course of events and the record would be filed at a

     future date. It was two weeks later that counsel learned through the

     order of this court that the appeal had been abated.

     b) Counsel has been in the criminal courts of the State of Texas in

     Harris County, Texas, and surrounding counties on a daily basis since

     the inception of this appeal as follows:
